zester
Citrus peel tool
A zester is a small kitchen tool designed to remove thin strips or fine shavings of citrus peel, capturing the flavorful outer layer while leaving behind the bitter white pith.
The tool typically has a row of small sharp holes or a fine grating surface.
She used a zester to add lemon zest to the cake batter.
To zest means to use such a tool, and the resulting shavings are called zest.
