Grated orange peel, often referred to as orange zest, is the colorful outer layer of an orange fruit's rind, prized for its intense citrus aroma and flavor. The vibrant zest is obtained by grating the outer skin, avoiding the bitter white pith underneath. Fresh orange zest adds a bright, tangy, and slightly sweet flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. Visually, it provides specks of vibrant orange color, enhancing the appearance of your culinary creations. It is available as fresh ingredient and as a dried ingredient to be used in baked goods.

Store grated orange peel in an airtight container to preserve its aroma and prevent it from drying out. For short-term storage (a few days), keep it in the refrigerator. For longer storage (up to several months), freeze it in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer it to a freezer bag or container. This prevents clumping and makes it easy to measure out as needed.
