About Lime zest
Lime zest is the outer, bright green layer of lime peel, packed with essential oils that give it a concentrated citrus flavor and aroma. Commonly used in Caribbean, Mexican, Mediterranean, and Southeast Asian cuisines, it adds a tangy, aromatic touch to both savory and sweet dishes. Nutritionally, lime zest is rich in antioxidants and small amounts of vitamins, including vitamin C, which can support immune health. The zest contains no fat, cholesterol, or sodium, making it a low-calorie flavor enhancer. Its high antioxidant content may contribute to anti-inflammatory properties and overall skin health. However, like most citrus peels, it’s best consumed in moderation, as excessive amounts may contain trace pesticide residues if sourced conventionally; organic limes can minimize this risk. Lime zest is a versatile and health-conscious way to brighten dishes without extra calories or sodium.
