About Zitronenschale

Zitronenschale, or lemon peel, is the outer skin of a lemon, widely used in culinary applications for its vibrant, citrusy aroma and zesty flavor. Common in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine, it adds brightness to dishes, baked goods, and beverages. Nutritionally, Zitronenschale is a rich source of vitamin C, fiber, and various antioxidants, including flavonoids, which contribute to heart health and may reduce inflammation. It also contains essential oils, such as limonene, known for antimicrobial and immune-boosting properties. However, moderation is key, as excessive consumption of citrus peel might lead to gastrointestinal discomfort due to its high acidity and concentration of compounds like oxalates. Typically grated or juiced, lemon peel enhances flavor while providing health benefits. To maximize its value, opt for organic lemons to avoid potential pesticide residues commonly found on conventional citrus fruits.
