Yes, the lemon zest (the yellow part of the peel, not the white pith that is bitter) is the most flavorful part of the lemon. The zest contains the essential oils of the lemon, which represents concentrated citrusy flavor. In fresh or even dried form, lemon zest can bring brightness to any dish. The same characteristics apply to the zests of orange, lime, and grapefruit, but lemon zest is the most widely used.
