The zest of a tangerine is a versatile ingredient in cooking and baking. It lends a bright citrus flavor without the bitterness of the pith and prevents waste by utilizing an often overlooked part of the fruit: the skin.
The white fiber located under the zest is known as the pith. While the orange zest has a strong citrus smell and flavor, the pith has no smell and is bitter. The zest is obtained by grating only the orange part of the tangerine's skin with a fine grater, such as a microplane.
