Lemon Peel, aka Citrus X Limon, is a member of the Rutaceae family. Lemon Peel brings characteristically bright, citrus notes to beverages and foods. It can also be added to skin care products and makes an uplifting addition to herbal tea blends and formulas. Dried lemon peel concentrates the citrus flavor so that a small amount of peel goes a long way towards adding that notorious zest.
