This is actually what is known as "orange zest". The thin colored portion of the orange peel contains a lot of essential oils that are full of a great orange smell and concentrated orange flavor. (The white part of the orange peel should not be used, it has a bitter and unpalatable flavor.) Orange zest is used in savory dishes to give them a little punch of citrus flavor, its in orange marmalade, and its used in many desserts to give them a great aroma and flavor.

It''s usually a smaller utensil so be careful not to over look it if you in the kitchen utensil section at your local Walmart its probaby there. when you zest and orange only use the orange part of the skin not the white part that is the rind and it's bitter.
