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.
In Chinese cookery it is an important seasoning that is sold as dried tangerine peel. It is soaked and used, sparingly, to flavor meat, poultry, soup and sweet dishes. To obtain the zest, lightly grate the skin of a whole tangerine on a fine, sharp cheese grater.
