About This Technique

The process of extracting zest (the essential oil-filled, colored part of the skin) from a citrus fruit. To zest, scrape the fruit against the finest portion of a grater, steadily turning the fruit as you grate to avoid including any of the bitter white part of the rind which lies below the zest.
