What is lemon peel?

Lemon peel is the outer skin of the lemon: a thin, fragrant yellow zest over a soft, bitter white pith. The zest holds the fruit's aromatic oils, which is why a little finely grated peel makes food taste so bright.

Where it comes from

Lemons grow on small evergreen trees in warm places like Sicily, Spain and California.

Most of a lemon's fragrance lives in the oil of its peel, which is why zest smells so bright.
