lime rind
Green fruit skin
Lime rind is the outer skin of a lime, comprising the colored zest and the bitter white pith beneath.
Recipes calling for lime rind typically mean the zest—the thin, aromatic outer layer rich in citrus oils: Add a teaspoon of grated lime rind.
The pith is usually avoided for its bitterness.
