Zest is the top layer of any citrus fruit, orange, mandarin orange, lime and grapefruit. It contains the oils from the fruit and it helps to add a citrus flavour to a dish or recipe.
Of course if you are substituting with an orange or grapefruit you might want to use only about 3/4 of the zest of the fruit, since it is quite a bit larger in size.
On average, one medium orange has about 2 tablespoons of orange juice, and approximately 2 to 3 tablespoons of zest. A mandarin on the other hand has about 1 – 2 teaspoons of zest and 2-3 tablespoons of juice.

Best Mandarin Orange Bread Recipes
This orange bread recipe is based on a recipe from an old cook book called Bread, Cakes & Biscuits by Mary Norwak. I made some changes to the original recipe. Reducing the amount of sugar was one of them as the original orange bread was way too sweet to my liking.
My version has just the right amount of sugar in it. I think it’s better adding more sweetness by spreading it with honey or jam rather than having a loaf that is way too sweet on its own.
