What is zest?

Orange zest is the colored outside portion of orange peel. It brings a citrusy, tangy flavor to recipes. You want the orange part of the peel, not the white pith, which has a bitter flavor. Here is the tool I use for oranges, lemons, and limes. You can also use a box grater if you have one.

How to Zest an Orange

Hold the Microplane tool in one hand, then place one end on a flat surface and hold it at an angle. If you use a box grater, just put it on a flat surface like a dish or cutting board. Hold the orange in the other hand and drag it down over the holes. Keep turning the orange until all the peel is removed.
