This fruit is commonly found in China or Northern parts of India. It goes by a
few names including Fingered Citron and Bushukan
but we think Buddha's Hand is by far the coolest and certainly the most apt.
This fruit is made up of long finger like sections that
all grow from the same base giving the illusion of a multi-fingered hand.
When it comes to eating it, this citrus fruit is nothing like your average
orange or lemon. It has no juice or pulp, it is essentially
made up of skin and pith. However unlike all other citrus fruit, the pith of the
Buddha's Hand is not bitter. The fruit is often candied,
dried or canned and used to complete all manner of sweet and savoury dishes.
This fruit is also extremely fragrant; many Japanese and Chinese families place
this fruit around the home as it gives off a pleasant smell.
