What is Lemon Peel?

Lemon peel is the fragrant outer layer of a lemon. It has essential oils and a strong citrus flavor. People often throw it away when using fresh lemons, but it is actually a useful ingredient. In cooking, wellness, and beauty products, lemon peel adds natural acidity and a nice scent. It can improve baked goods, teas,  and skincare products. Its aromatic and slightly bitter taste works well with orange peel, cranberries, or apples in teas and baking recipes.

Lemon Peel Products

Lemon peel can be processed into different forms for use in food and drinks:

• Powder: Finely ground peel, good for flavoring drinks, candies, sauces, and spice mixes.
• Granules: Larger pieces that work well in marinades, teas, and spice blends.
• Diced or Chopped Peel: Even cubes are perfect for baking, energy bars, and health food.
• Whole or Sliced Peel: Bigger pieces that are perfect for infusions, extracts, and as garnish.

These options can be infused and with or without preservatives, depending on what you need.

Harvest Season

Lemon peel is typically collected when the fruit is picked, usually from late winter to early spring in many regions. However, in tropical and subtropical areas, lemons can be grown all year, so lemon peel production happens throughout the year.

Producing Countries

Several major countries produce lemons and supply lemon peel for local and global markets:

• India: India is the top lemon producer, making over 3.5 million tonnes each year.
• Mexico: Mexico exports more than 2.9 million tonnes, mainly to the U.S. and Latin America.
• China: China produces 2.61 million tonnes, meeting needs in Asia and around the world.
