A Buddha’s hand is a very strong, smelling and strange looking citrus fruit. It is an ancient fruit that is not commonly thought of for its uses in cooking. The taste and smell of this fruit are similar to that of a lemon, but its appearance is very different.

The Buddha’s hand is bright yellow, and his long yellow “fingers” can count from five to 20. It needs a warm climate to grow and can be damaged by cold, but also by intense heat. Areas like Southern California have ideal weather conditions in which fruit can thrive.

This fruit can be found growing on small trees and is thought to have originated in India. Other stories state that the fruit was used as an offering in religious ceremonies. When the fingers of the fruit are closed, they symbolize the closed praying hand. Buddha’s Hand is thought to be one of the oldest known citrus fruits.

In China and Japan, the fruit is mainly used to perfume or freshen rooms. It is also popular in citrus-based fragrances and perfumes. The pulp of the fruit is not juicy, and the small pulp is incredibly spicy. Unlike most citrus fruits, Buddha’s Hand has no bitter pith.

The rind of the fruit is often used to make a tangy jam, but it can also be added to drinks to impart a lemony flavor. Chefs sometimes use fruit as a flavoring for fish. It’s also excellent in salads and rice dishes. The zest is often used as the main ingredient when making candy. It can also be mixed with ice cream or yogurt for an extra kick.

Citrus Buddha’s Hand is becoming an extremely popular alternative to lemon in numerous dishes. Fingers need to be cut, cut and then peeled. All fingers can be used when cooking.
