Lemon peel powder adds a bright and sour kick to sweet and savory dishes. Made by grinding dried lemon peels, the powder is often used in place of fresh lemon or lemon zest in recipes. The flavor of lemon peel powder is more concentrated, and therefore, only a fraction of the amount is needed as a substitute for lemon zest.

As a flavoring, lemon is incredibly versatile. Lemon peel powder is used in baked goods, desserts, herbal teas, cocktails, spice blends, marinades, rubs, and infused oils. Its robust, fresh scent also lends itself to aromatherapy and natural cleaning products.

Nutritionally, lemon peel powder is high in fiber, calcium and vitamin C, among other nutrients. In fact, lemon peels have a higher concentration of nutrients than lemon juice or pulp, making the powder a popular supplement to fight infection, colds and flu.
