The ultimate time saver when it comes to baking, our dried Orange peel is just as flavorful as freshly grated oranges. Our top quality granulated Orange Zest is made from the outer peel, and not the pith (or the white part of the rind). The orange peel is then minced and dried which captures all of the essential oils. The zest is the part of the orange that contains the highest amount of oil which is why it is used in baking. 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. Our Orange Zest comes from oranges that are grown in the United States. The type of oranges used depends on the time of the year. During the winter season, it is Navel and its subvarieties and, in the summer, Valencia and its subvarieties. All of these are considered sweet oranges.
