About Orange zest
Orange zest is the outer, colorful layer of an orange peel, rich in flavor and aromatic oils. Typically grated or finely chopped, it is used in a variety of cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean, Asian, and American baking. Packed with essential oils like limonene, orange zest provides a burst of citrus flavor and aroma to recipes. It contains small amounts of vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants, which contribute to immune support and help combat free radicals. Adding orange zest to dishes is a health-conscious way to enhance flavor without extra sugar or salt. However, it's essential to ensure the orange is thoroughly washed to remove any wax or pesticide residue before zesting. While flavorful in small quantities, consuming large amounts of zest may potentially lead to digestive discomfort due to its concentrated nature. Orange zest is a versatile, nutrient-rich addition to desserts, marinades, dressings, and beverages.
