Orange Peel Powder – Finely Ground Dried Orange Zest for Baking & Tea

Orange peel powder is what you reach for when a recipe calls for citrus flavor but fresh oranges are out of season, too wet for the dough, or simply not in the house. This is dried orange peel milled into a fine, free-flowing powder — a single ingredient, freshly ground in Turkey, with nothing added and naturally gluten-free. Because it is a powder rather than peel pieces, it disperses evenly through cake batters, cookie dough, and shortbread without leaving chewy bits behind. Dried citrus peel is more concentrated than fresh zest, so start small: about one teaspoon of powder stands in for roughly a tablespoon of freshly grated zest, then adjust to taste. Bakers fold it into orange cakes, biscotti, muffins, and revani-style semolina desserts; it also wakes up rice pudding, ice cream bases, and homemade citrus sugar. Beyond baking, a pinch goes into black tea or herbal blends for a bright citrus note, into smoothies and yogurt, and into savory territory — spice rubs for chicken, marinades, salad dressings, and seasoning blends where a dry citrus element is wanted. In South Asian households, finely ground orange peel is also a traditional component of ubtan, the homemade face-mask and scrub blend mixed with gram flour and turmeric — a centuries-old ritual ingredient, here in convenient pre-ground form. If you want visible curls of peel for a tea infuser or garnish, look at our tea-cut dried orange peel pieces instead; this powder is the choice when you need flavor that melts invisibly into whatever you are making. Available in 100g, 250g, 500g, and 1kg resealable pouches. Store airtight, away from light, and it keeps its aroma for months.
