Lemon Peel Powder

Lemons are an evergreen tree that thrives in Europe and Asia, known primarily for their bright yellow fruit. While the juice is well-known for its tangy flavour and cleaning benefits, its peel is bursting with nutrients.

Dried lemon peel, taken from the fruit’s outer skin, offers a burst of citrus flavour. It can be finely cut, made into ribbons, or ground into a powder. Surprisingly, the peel is more nutritious than the fruit itself, with higher levels of vitamins A and C, potassium, beta-carotene, magnesium, and calcium. It also contains coumarins and flavonoids.

Lemon Peel Powder is just what it sounds like – lemon peel that has been dried and ground into a fine powder. This versatile ingredient brings all the bright, tangy flavour of lemon without the added liquid, making it perfect for recipes where moisture content matters.

How is lemon peel powder used?

Lemon Peel Powder shines in commercial kitchens. It’s an ideal addition to cakes, cookies, and biscuits, where you want the vibrant lemon flavour without extra liquid. It can also enhance dressings, marinades, and spice blends, adding a zesty kick to your culinary creations.

Beyond baking and cooking, lemon peel powder is a popular choice in beverages. It can be stirred into teas and cocktails for a refreshing citrus note. Its concentrated flavour makes it a fantastic garnish for drinks, providing a burst of lemon essence.

In skincare, Lemon Peel Powder is valued for its fresh, uplifting scent and its antioxidant properties. It’s often included in exfoliating scrubs and facial masks, helping to cleanse and revitalise the skin. The powder’s natural qualities make it a great addition to soaps and lotions, offering both fragrance and reported skin benefits.

Lemon Peel Powder is also used in the production of cleaning products, thanks to its high citric acid content. It acts as a natural cleaner and deodorizer, perfect for eco-friendly cleaning solutions.
