About Lemon zest
Lemon zest, the outermost bright yellow layer of a lemon's peel, is a flavorful ingredient used in dishes worldwide, particularly in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines. Packed with aromatic oils, it adds a burst of citrusy tang to desserts, savory dishes, and beverages. Unlike the bitter white pith beneath, the zest is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and essential oils, which may support immune health and skin vitality. It contains negligible calories and no fat, making it a healthy way to heighten flavor without added sugar or sodium. Additionally, its natural compounds, such as limonene, have been studied for potential anti-inflammatory and mood-enhancing properties. While lemon zest offers many benefits, ensure it's sourced from organic lemons to avoid pesticides. Overall, this vibrant ingredient is the perfect way to boost flavor and nutrition in your favorite recipes.
