orange peels

Marmalade's bitter component

Orange peels are the outer rind of an orange, removed before eating or used in cooking and baking.

The zest—the thin, colorful outer layer—adds citrus flavor to recipes, while the white pith beneath is bitter.

Dried orange peels appear in teas and spice blends.
