Benefits of Lemon Peel

What is Lemon Peel? Lemon peel is the outer peel of the lemon fruit, thought to be native to the Indian subcontinent of Asia. The lemon, known more for its juice, is used in cooking, making beverages like lemonade, and for household cleaning. Lemon peel produces oil, which is used prominently in Sicilian culture, and is also pickled in brine and sold for candying. It is also used in culinary, confectionary, and cosmetic applications. Lemon peel can also be used in potpourris and bath blends.
