I love the term zest, both in cooking and in life. Citrus zest can punch up any baked good and having zest for life, well that’s just a good way to go. Let’s look at zest in terms of food. Today’s daily definition comes from newitalianrecipes.com.
“The thin, brightly colored outer part of the rind of citrus fruits. The oils make it ideal for use as a flavoring. Remove the zest with a grater, citrus zester, or vegetable peeler. Be careful to remove only the colored layer, not the bitter-white pith beneath it.”
