A device for extracting zest from a fruit includes a body, a carrier, and a blade. The carrier moves and holds the fruit as the blade separates a portion of the flavedo from the pith of the peel to extract zest. The device also includes an arm that urges the blade against the peel to generate pressure as the carrier moves the fruit, allowing the blade to move toward and away from the carrier to accommodate the contour of the fruit's peel. The blade includes teeth that cut a portion of the fruit's flavedo from the fruit's pith without separating the pith from the berry. To allow one to extract flavedo in any desired form, such as shavings, or chips, or still longer strings, the blade and carrier are releasably coupled to the body, to adjust the force that the arm exerts on the blade. |
