Lemon Peel
Citrus x limon

In the language of flowers, the bright yellow lemon peel means "zest," which pretty much says it all. In fact, the word "zest" is a shortened version of the French word "zeste," which means "peel of a citrus fruit." Master chefs and tea blenders know a bit of lemon peel can give their creations just the right edge. Nutritionally, the peel contains bioflavonoids that can help your body better utilize the Vitamin C from the lemon within. And if you have the hiccups, try this folk remedy — add a touch of lemon peel oil to a glass of fresh lemonade and drink it all down. Even if your hiccups don't go away, you'll be set on Vitamin C for the day.
