Add our Minced Lemon Peel to your seafood and chicken before grilling or cooking. This lemon zest seasoning is also great with most marinades and dressings. Try adding a bit of lemon peel spices to your favorite rice dish, or in baking applications. When substituting minced lemon rind for fresh lemon zest, use 1/3 of the amount. Reconstitute lemon peel if necessary by soaking in water for 15-20 minutes to produce a fresh lemon flavor.

How to Use

Try minced lemon seasoning with seafood, chicken, rice, marinades, and dressings. Use lemon peel spices in baking recipes. If using dried lemon peel in place of fresh lemon zest, use 1/3 of what the recipe calls for as it is three times stronger than fresh. Reconstitute if necessary by soaking in water for 15 to 20 minutes to produce a fresh lemon flavor.

About The Spice

Our minced lemon peel or lemon zest contains a high percentage of essential oils which produces amazing flavor. The lemon peel is carefully removed, discarding any white pith that may lie beneath, and quickly dried to preserve the flavor.

More Information

Once mainly used in baking, because of its high oil content lemon peel is now commonly used in recipes containing seafood, chicken, pork, vegetables, rice, marinades and dressings. Reconstitute if necessary by soaking in water for 15 to 20 minutes to produce a fresh lemon flavor.
