摘要：
A device for extracting zest from a fruit includes a body, a carrier coupled to the body, and a blade coupled to the body. The carrier moves the fruit relative to the blade and holds the fruit as the blade separates a portion of the flavedo from the pith of the fruits peel to extract zest from the fruit. The device also includes an arm that urges the blade against the fruits peel to generate contact pressure as the carrier moves the fruit relative to the blade, and that allows the blade to move toward and away from the carrier to accommodate the contour of the fruits peel, which is often curved. The blade includes a plurality of teeth, each configured to cut a portion of the fruits flavedo from the fruits pith without separating the pith from the berry.
