Yes the white stuff inside the orange peel is called the pith.

Health authorities have been encouraging us to eat it for years, it contains the essential fibre we need to keep our bodies healthy, and provided with the antioxidants our bodies need to fight diseases like cancer.

The pith can sometimes be rather bitter, especially in the case of grapefruit and lemons. It is for this reason that we are encouraged to peel an orange with our hands, and not a knife, which removes most of the pith.

So the pith of citrus fruit can protect us against all the refined food that we eat,

It is the pith. "Zest" is what you make by grating the skin.

Somebody I know has Crohn's, and eating the pith caused a flare up in him.  If you have Crohn's, don't eat it.  It's in foods such as grapefruits and bananas too.
