Citrus Bergamot

Citrus bergamot, a fragrant hybrid of sour orange and lemon, is a nutritional standout within the citrus family due to its exceptionally high concentration of polyphenolic flavonoids.

While it provides the standard citrus foundation of Vitamin C and potassium, bergamot is most notable for its unique profile of phytochemicals, including neoeriocitrin, naringin, and neohesperidin.

These compounds serve as potent plant-based antioxidants that contribute to the fruit’s complex bio-profile. Incorporating bergamot (whether through its aromatic zest, juice, or dietary supplements) introduces a diverse array of micronutrients and secondary metabolites that complement a well-rounded, plant-forward diet.
