About Bergamot

Bergamot is a citrus fruit primarily grown in the Mediterranean, especially in southern Italy. Renowned for its unique, fragrant flavor, it’s often associated with Earl Grey tea due to its aromatic oil extracted from the peel. This small, yellow-green fruit is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids and polyphenols, which support heart health and may help reduce inflammation. Bergamot is also a source of vitamin C, contributing to immune health and skin vitality. Its essential oil contains compounds that can aid digestion and promote a calming effect, making it popular in aromatherapy. While the fruit is rarely eaten fresh due to its tartness, it’s commonly used in marmalades, desserts, and beverages. However, like other citrus fruits, bergamot contains citric acid, which may irritate sensitive stomachs when consumed in excess. Its concentrated oil should be used cautiously, as overexposure can cause sensitivity in some individuals.
