Bergamot (Citrus bergamia) is a citrus fruit. The fruit is a hybrid of citron and bitter orange. It grows on an evergreen tree that can reach up to four meters in height. Bergamot juice is rich in flavonoids (secondary plant compounds), which give fruits and vegetables their color. Flavonoids are also found in cocoa, black tea, and green tea.
