Dee Dee,

I always wonder about using fruit zest. If it's not organic, it's probably
the most pesticided part of the fruit you could add to a dish. Sure it adds
an interesting visual but wouldn't some squeezed juice make more sense?

Nope. Citrus zest is far from 'an interesting visual'; certain dishes
just don't taste the same without it - even if you are also supposed to
add the juice. IMHO, It adds another dimension to the flavor.

Nobody eats the peals from those fruits. Why? Because they have no peal.
