What's the best way to keep lime zest if I'm going to use it in a week to 10 days? Freeze it in water, cover it with a neutral oil, or just dry it and reconstitute it later?

Not that it really contains your answer, but: Pre-zested lemon zest

It's the oil that's the good part in zest, right? I have no idea what the best plan is.

I would freeze it, but not in water.

This site says to freeze the zest in a sealed plastic bag.

Ah, that's what I wound up doing. I like when my guesses fit with conventional wisdom.
