How does dried lime peel differ from dried lemon peel?

Dried lime peel usually has a sharper, more distinctive aroma and a slightly more bitter citrus edge. Lemon peel tends to taste rounder and sweeter, although the exact flavor depends on the fruit.

How can dried lime peel be used in cooking?

It can be added to spice blends, marinades, teas, rice dishes, and desserts. A small amount can provide concentrated lime fragrance without adding fresh juice or liquid.
