Unwaxed lemons are lemons without a wax coating, making them ideal for using the zest, as they are often sold for both cooking and vegan purposes. While they are free of the artificial wax, they may have a natural fungicide coating for preservation, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before use. You can find unwaxed lemons at most grocery stores, often labeled as organic or specifically marketed as "unwaxed".
