Lemon Peel, Granules - 16 oz Pouch

Lemon Peel contains the zest of Lemon. This granulated peel is useful for marinades that require a citrus flavor. The cultivation of citrus has a history of at least 2000 years, and the fruit was used long before then. Lemons originated in India and China; the Greeks, when introduced to Lemons, prized them for both their culinary and medical properties. Suggested Use: Dried Lemon Peel is used in desserts, mulled drinks, added to sugar and used in cooking meat or fish stew. A little Lemon Peel mixed in with cheese sauces lightens the dish. Granulated Lemon Peel is also used in the Italian seasoning mixture Gremolada.
