In a study of mangoes grown around Multan, this compact fruit earned high marks for flavour and taste. Pakistan celebrates its sweetness and low-fibre flesh; its country association here describes that living orchard and food culture. Cut the small cheeks beside the stone, then scoop the ripe flesh. Taste it plain before adding anything sweet. ## When it is ripe Let the small fruit become fragrant and gently yielding; yellow colour alone is not enough. Flavour notes are subjective. Ripeness, handling and growing conditions change the fruit.

Pakistani agricultural records preserve several English spellings: Anwar Ratol, Anwar Retual and Rataul (Anwar). Research on fruit from around Multan confirms the compact cultivar’s strong flavour appeal. Its placement in our Pakistan guide describes that country’s cultivation and affection for it. Gautam and colleagues’ 2019 horticultural paper traces Ratol to Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, and connects Anwar with landholder Anwar ul Haq. We preserve that attributed account without claiming independently verified first-tree history. Punjab’s institute lists the later Ratol No. 12 separately, so that selection is not an interchangeable alias here.
