Fruit

Segment

Segment of Bergamot is a distinct kitchen form used when recipes want this specific yield or texture rather than the whole ingredient. aromatic leaf, seed or root used to season rather than bulk. Handle by the moisture and perishability of bergamot: keep cold if fresh, dry if shelf-stable. Cook with methods that suit its size and texture. add tender leaves late; hard stems and seeds can go in early. Pairs with oils, stocks, salads, marinades. Salt early for large joints, late for delicate leaves and soft fruit.
