what is the zest of one orange?
The ultimate time saver when it comes to baking, our dried Orange peel is just as flavorful as freshly grated oranges. Our top quality granulated Orange Zest is made from the outer peel, and not the pith (or the white part of the rind). The orange peel is then minced and dried which captures all of the essential oils. The zest is the part of the orange that contains the highest amount of oil which is why it is used in baking.
