Details

Lemon peel has two layers; the oily outer skin and the bitter, spongy pith beneath it. This zest is made from just the outer layer, so it has a wonderfully strong lemon flavor and fragrance with no bitterness. It adds a delicious lemon tang to salad dressings, marinades, or beverages. When using in baked goods, use one third of the amount of dried zest for the fresh amount called for. You may wish to soak the dried lemon zest in warm water for 15 minutes before adding to dry ingredients. Because of its high oil content, store this dried lemon zest in airtight glass or ceramic containers. Ingredients: Lemon peel.

disappointing lemon zest

Too bitter...ruined my blueberry rustic torte!

Hi Gloria,
So sorry to hear about your blueberry tart!
Did you use less zest than the recipe called for? Dried spices tend to be stronger than their fresh forms. Because of this, we recommend using half of what the recipe calls for.
