Les fabricants ne font pas toujours la distinction entre peel et zest sur leurs étiquettes. Il ne saurait être question de garder cette ambiguïté en français : le mot zeste s'applique à la partie supérieure colorée et parfumée de l'écorce; cette dernière n'est guère comestible autrement que confite. 3, record 1, French, - zeste
