Lime Zest
Lime Zest is the finely grated outer peel of citrus fruits (lemon, lime, orange) used worldwide to add bright, aromatic flavor to sweet and savory dishes. It’s typically used in small amounts to impart aroma and a concentrated citrus kick rather than bulk. Nutritionally, zest is notable for being rich in vitamin C, with about 130mg per 100g, and it also contains appreciable dietary fiber and trace minerals; most people use it sparingly, so it adds flavor with very little energy. Beyond basic nutrients, citrus zest contributes beneficial plant compounds — fragrant essential oils and polyphenols — that provide antioxidant properties and enhance the sensory appeal of foods.
