GET ZESTY
Don’t forget to use the zest! Research
shows consuming citrus zest may
reduce the risk of cancer. You can
buy a few different tools to remove
the zest from your citrus fruit. Some
will give you long, thin, sturdy strips
while others will give you a fine or
coarse grate (depending on which
one you buy). When using a zester
with a fine blade, avoid zesting the
white pith of the fruit as it causes
the zest to be too bitter.
