About Makrut lime zest
Makrut lime zest is the thin, coloured outer peel of the fruit commonly called makrut lime. It is used as an aromatic ingredient, usually grated or finely chopped, with the bitter white pith beneath the peel generally excluded. It may be used fresh or preserved, but those forms are not identical.
The zest is intensely fragrant, with a sharp citrus aroma and a flavour that is more complex and pungent than ordinary lime zest. Its surface is green when fresh, while dried or preserved zest may be darker and less juicy. Small quantities are commonly used to flavour cooked foods and condiments; dried zest is sold in pieces or ground.
