Orange Zest
Orange zest comes from the colorful outer part of the orange and is filled with delicious flavor. To remove the zest, first wash the orange, and then use a zester on the outer layer. Do not use the white pith that lies directly under the top layer because it has a bitter flavor. If you do not have a zester, use a fine cheese grater, a sharp knife, or a vegetable peeler.
