What it is

Dried lemon peel is the outer rind of lemons that has been dehydrated. It is made by removing the peel from fresh lemons and then drying it, often through air or oven drying. This process concentrates the peel's flavor and aroma.

Why it's used

Dried lemon peel is used as a flavoring agent in a variety of foods, adding a bright, citrusy taste. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and cakes, as well as in marinades, dressings, and spice blends. Manufacturers use it to enhance the overall flavor profile of products.

Health notes

Organic dried lemon peel is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. It is not typically consumed in amounts large enough to cause adverse health effects. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated lemon peel and its components, generally finding them safe for consumption at typical levels. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns at levels found in food.
