lime peel
Green citrus skin
Lime peel is the outer skin of a lime, used for its aromatic oils and bright citrus flavor.
The zest—the thin green outer layer—adds intensity to cocktails, desserts, and savory dishes without the juice's acidity: Garnish with a twist of lime peel.
Dried lime peel appears in spice blends and teas.
