So, what is lemon peel?
Lemon peel is the outermost layer of the lemon fruit that is often discarded, but it is actually a versatile and flavorful ingredient. The yellow, aromatic zest is bursting with essential oils that give a refreshing, tangy flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. It can be grated or thinly sliced and added to cakes, muffins, cocktails, marinades, dressings, and sauces to impart a bright and citrusy note. Lemon peel is also a good source of vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, making it a healthy and delicious addition to any recipe.
