Faeries Finest Lemon Zest, 2.20 Ounce

For a bit of natural texture along with bright lemon flavor and aroma, add Faerie's lemon zest to your favorite baking recipes. Our lemon zest can be used wherever your recipes call for lemon zest or lemon peel even potpourri. Our lemon zest is dehydrated for convenient storage and use. 1/4 teaspoon of dry lemon zest granules is equivalent to one full teaspoon of fresh lemon peel or lemon zest. A large lemon will normally yield about one tablespoon of fresh zest. If you are using our zest in baking or in a dish that will be cooked for more than a few minutes after the zest is added then the zest can be added dry. Otherwise, soak the dry zest in lukewarm water for 15-30 minutes before use to re-hydrate. When storing herbs and spices packaging is an important consideration. Plastic zip seal bags allow aroma and taste to escape and shorten the flavor life of your herbs and spices. We package our herbs and spices in food grade pet plastic jars. These clear, dense jars allow you to see your herbs and spices while still sealing in all the aroma and flavor so you get maximum life from your ingredients.
