Orange Zest

Orange Zest is the outer colored rind of the orange used fresh or dried to add bright citrus flavor to sweet and savory dishes; it appears across many cuisines as a garnish, zest, or ingredient in baking, marinades and spice blends. It is particularly notable for its vitamin C content, providing about 136mg per 100g of peel. Beyond its flavor, orange zest is high in fiber and contains aromatic polyphenols and other phytochemicals that contribute antioxidant benefits and can enhance the nutritional profile of foods when used sparingly.
