Description
Bergamot is considered a functional food due to its high flavonoid content, which provides antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasoprotective properties. Its regular consumption may help reduce blood cholesterol levels and promote overall cardiovascular health.
Besides being enjoyed as a fresh fruit, bergamot is also used to make juices, infusions, and flavorings in gastronomy. The essential oil extracted from its peel is prized both for sweetening teas and infusions and for creating fine perfumes.
Bergamot keeps best at room temperature in a well-ventilated place, or alternatively, in the refrigerator for longer preservation.
