North Mountain Supply Dried Citrus Peel - 1 Pound - Lemon

Lemon peel, Citrus limon, is from the family Rutaceae (citrus family) and they’re related to oranges, limes and grapefruits. Dried lemon peel maintains the flavor of fresh peel. Dried citrus zests, whether we’re talking orange, lemon, lime or grapefruit, are not a pour out of the bag replacement for a freshly zested piece of citrus. But, when used properly, you can bring the volatile and aromatic oils found in the skin of the fruit back to life and elevate numerous recipes. When combined with a bit of liquid, you’ll instantly recognize the floral and tangy aroma of grapefruit, as well as the sophisticated bitter flavor this fruit is known for. The dried peel retains much the citrus flavor profile which compliments beers hopped with a citrus character. We’ve also heard that citrus peel works well in IPAs and Saisons. Frequently called for in baking and dessert recipes such as cakes, candy, chocolates, cookies, pies and puddings. Often used in seafood marinades, now it is just as likely to be found in recipes for marinades, vegetables, chicken, dressings, seafood, rice and seasoning blends. Lemon peel is used in the making of condiments including lemon pickle, chutney and marmalade.
