What is a substitute for grated lime rind?
Here are a few substitutes for grated lime zest:
- Lemon zest: Lemon zest is a close aromatic match to lime zest, and it can be used in a 1:1 ratio.
- Orange zest: Orange zest has a slightly different flavor profile, but it can still be used as a substitute for lime zest. Use it in a 1:1 ratio.
- Lime juice: If you don't have lime zest but you do have lime juice, you can use it instead. However, keep in mind that lime juice is more concentrated than lime zest, so you'll need to use less of it. Start by adding 1/2 teaspoon of lime juice for every 1 teaspoon of lime zest called for in the recipe.
- Dried lime peel: Dried lime peel is a less common ingredient, but it can be a good substitute for lime zest. Use it in a 1:1 ratio.
- Lime extract: Lime extract is a concentrated form of lime flavor, and it can be used as a substitute for lime zest. However, keep in mind that lime extract is very potent, so you'll need to use less of it. Start by adding 1/4 teaspoon of lime extract for every 1 teaspoon of lime zest called for in the recipe.
