Sun-ripened in the volcanic black soils of Vidarbha, delivered fresh to your doorstep.
Experience the legendary Nagpuri Santra—the fruit that earned a city its name. Known for its perfect sweet-tangy equilibrium and an aroma that fills a room, this isn’t just an orange; it’s a 250-year-old heritage nurtured by the Bhonsale kings and the hardworking farmers of Maharashtra.
Why this is different
Official GI Tag Authentication: Registered under GI Certificate No. 315, ensuring you receive the true Mandarin variety unique to the Vidarbha region.
Easy-Peel Perfection: Unlike tight-skinned hybrids, the Nagpur Orange features a characteristic “loose” skin, making it a joy to peel and eat.
Natural Sweet-Sour Balance: A specific blend of sugar and acid that provides a refreshing zing you won’t find in imported varieties.
Zero Artificial Waxing: Packed to preserve its natural, slightly pebbly texture and vibrant essential oils.
Benefits
The Flavor of the “Orange Capital”
The secret lies in the Regur (Black Cotton) soil and the tropical heat of Central India. This environment concentrates the sugars while maintaining a refreshing acidity, creating a deep orange pulp that is incredibly juicy.
Immunity in a Segment
Naturally rich in Vitamin C, Fiber, and Antioxidants, Nagpur Oranges support:
Natural Immunity: A powerhouse of daily Vitamin C.
Hydration: High juice content (nearly 50% of weight) to refresh the body.
Skin Radiance: Essential nutrients that promote collagen health and metabolic wellness.
Supporting the Vidarbha Heartland
Directly sourced from cooperatives like Maha Orange, your purchase supports over 70,000 farmers across Nagpur and Amravati, ensuring fair pricing and the survival of traditional orchard practices.

FAQ
How do I know this is a real Nagpur Orange? Look for the oblate (flattened) shape and slightly bumpy skin. If it’s perfectly round and glossy like a plastic ball, it’s likely a hybrid from another region.
Why does the skin feel loose? That is the hallmark of an authentic Nagpur Mandarin! It’s designed by nature to be peeled by hand without a knife.
How should I store them? Keep them in a cool, dry, and airy place. They stay fresh for 1–2 weeks at room temperature and longer if refrigerated.
Is the Mrig Bahar sweeter than the Ambia Bahar? Yes, generally the springtime harvest (Mrig) is sweeter because the fruit matures during the warmer months.
