A versatile citrus accent for both sweet and savory cooking. Dried lemon zest brightens baked goods and desserts while adding clean, vibrant flavor to seafood, chicken, pork, vegetables, rice, marinades, and dressings. When replacing fresh zest with dried, use approximately one-third of the amount called for. For a fresher, more aromatic profile, rehydrate dried lemon peel by soaking in warm water for 15–20 minutes before use.
