Lemon zest brings a big burst of tart citrus to your cooking projects. Try keeping our dehydrated, coarse ground lemon zest on hand to save time and effort in the kitchen.Zest is t he colorful outer peel of citrus fruits, such as lemon, orange, citron and lime. Zest is called for in recipes to add flavor ["zest"] to foods and beverages. Zest is obtained by grating bits of citrus peel from the outside of the fruit: longer decorative bits [a "twist"] for garnishes in drinks like martinis, finer grated bits for desserts and savory rice dishes. Zest is a critical ingredient in a number of condiment, jam and pickle recipes.Our lemon zest is dehydrated and coarsely ground. Still replete with citrus oils, this lemon zest is stronger than fresh peel - use perhaps one-third the called-for amount in your recipes. Coarse ground lemon zest is delicious in desserts, mulled drinks, and in meat or fish stews. A little Lemon Zest mixed in with cheese sauces lightens the dish. Add a bit of zest to ground black pepper to make your own lemon pepper seasoning. Lemon zest is a simple enhancement to any fish dish! Show more
