Dried lime peel provides tart, citrusy and bitter flavor to many foods and beverages. It is a prized ingredient of brewers because its citrus flavor beautifully compliments sour ales and Citra-hopped IPAs. Lime peel is also used in cooking, tea blending and in natural skin care products and perfumery.
