Nagpur orange is a variety of mandarin orange (Citrus reticulata) grown in Nagpur, Maharashtra, India.[1][2][3]
The fruit has a pockmarked exterior and sweet and juicy pulp. The Geographical Indication was applied for Nagpur orange with the registrar of GIs in India, and is effective as of April 2014.[4]
Nagpur oranges blossom during the monsoon season and are ready to be harvested. The orange crop grows twice a year. The fruit available from September to December is Ambiya which has a slightly sour taste. It is followed by the sweeter Mrig crop in January. Normally, farmers go for either of the two varieties.[5]
