What Is Lemon Peel Powder?

Dried lemon peel is the ground form of the product obtained by drying fresh lemon peel. Fresh lemon peel contains approximately 80% water before drying. Through the drying process, the water content in the fresh product is reduced to very low levels. As a result of drying, 1 kg of dried Lemon peel powder is obtained using approximately 5 kg of lemon peel. During the drying process, the water in the fresh product is removed, leaving the essence of the lemon peel. Therefore, the nutritional values of dried Lemon peel powder, especially protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and fiber, are highly concentrated. The sold pack is produced using approximately 250 g of fresh lemon peel.
