Product description
Also known as the Fingered Citron, the Buddha's Hand is one of the oldest citrus fruits. Sometimes described as a "lemon with fingers," this strange citrus is treasured for its sweet floral fragrance and mild zest. Inside the fruit there is little to no flesh or juice––it's all rind and pith. For this reason, Buddha's Hand isn't really for "eating," although the rind can be candied or used in baking and other recipes. Buddha's Hand Citron is also a nice ingredient for infusing into liqueurs and other spirits.
Choose blemish-free fruits. Store at room temperature, slicing off pieces to impart fragrance in your home.

Melissa’s Buddha’s Hand is a delicious fragrant symbol of happiness, longevity, and good fortune. This traditional temple offering and New Year’s gift is actually a form of the citron, an extremely fragrant and commonly misshapen fruit indigenous to the lower Himalayas. Closely related to the lemon, the Buddha’s Hand segments branch off at the bottom into gnarled, finger-like protrusions. Known as "fo-shou" in China and "bushukan" in Japan, the impressive Buddha’s Hand has a mysterious history. Scholars cannot agree whether Buddhist monks carried it from India to China around the fourth century A.D. or if it developed naturally in the Yangtze Valley from another citron variety. Either way, America now can enjoy this tangy spectacle.
Enjoy Buddha’s Hand as a seasonal ornamental fruit or in any recipe that calls for lemon zest such as biscotti, fruit compotes, casseroles, and soufflés.
Choose Buddha’s Hands that are firm. Avoid blemishes and shriveled or moldy spots. Look for Buddha’s Hands with a sweet, clean fragrance. Store at cool room temperatures for up to two weeks or refrigerate for up to four weeks.
