Commonly used in baked goods and desserts. Dried lemon zest works great in savory dishes like seafood, chicken, pork, vegetables, rice, marinades, and dressings. When substituting dried lemon rind for fresh zest, use ⅓ of the amount. Reconstitute dry lemon peel if necessary by soaking in water for 15-20 minutes to produce fresher lemon flavor.

Flavor Profile

This dried zest is bright and citrusy in taste, with bitter notes. Lemon peel pairs well with cloves, pepper, mint, and garlic.

How to Use

Try minced lemon seasoning with seafood, chicken, rice, marinades, and dressings. If using dried lemon in place of fresh zest, use ⅓ of the amount called for, as it is 3x stronger than fresh. Reconstitute if necessary by soaking in water for 15-20 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.
