These bergamots, gifted to us last year as tiny little saplings are finally starting to spread their wings. DescriptionCitrus bergamia, the bergamot orange, is a fragrant citrus fruit the size of an orange, with a yellow or green color similar to a lime, depending on ripeness. Genetic research into the ancestral origins of extant citrus cultivars found bergamot orange to be a probable hybrid of lemon and bitter orange. The fruit itself is edible. The juice tastes less sour than lemon, but more bitter than grapefruit. Bergamot peel is also one of the most common ingredients used in perfumery, prized for its ability to combine with an array of scents to form a bouquet of aromas which complement each other. ・・・ #growninhaiti #bergamot #Citrusbergamia #citrus #sappling #growth #nursery #reforestation #preservation #diversity #agroforestry #foodforest #nogmos #nopesticides #noherbicides #sharingiscaring #haiti #ayiti https://www.instagram.com/p/B7RMYsnF5br/?igshid=df9davnfvbs5
