Zest is the grated outer peel of the citrus fruit. The outer colored peel, or “flavedo” as it is called, has tiny oil sacs that are full of distinctive flavor and aroma. When you grate the peel and use it in dishes from soups to desserts, you can enjoy the wonderful “zest” of the fruit.

A. Zest is the colored, outermost layer of the peel of citrus fruit. It is very pungent and can be used in small quantities to flavor all kinds of things.
