The thin outer layer of peel .. the colored bit only. It is pared or grated thinly and then added as a flavor boost to recipes.

zest is what you do to the "lemon or orange" The peel or skin is what you zest. Just make sure not to zest into the white part under the skin because it is very bitter.

Grated peel from oranges or lemons is zest!
Wash the skin under water and use a small grater and grate away at the skin, then add to recipes for that added zing!

The zest is the "skin" or peel of a citrus fruit. The yellow, green or yellow part. If it is needed in a recipe, be careful not to se the pith which is the white layer right under the colored part of the peel. It can be bitter and shouldn't be used.

lemon/orange zest is when you shave off a small piece of the whichever fruit skin and add it to your recipe.

It is the outer coloured layers of an orange or lemon.... the pigments hold an oil which when grated into foods gives most of the fragrance and flavour

Zest is the perfumy outermost skin layer which is removed with the aid of a zester, paring knife or vegetable peeler.

It's the outermost rind. It's usually grated off of the fruit and used in cooking and baking.
