Buddha's Hands


The photo above shows a bunch of buddha's hands gifted to one of my sisters who lives in California, by a friend who grows them. They are new to me. It is a variety of citron fruit with finger-like sections extending out like a hand. She made candied buddha's hand citron with them as pictured below.  You can make candied lemon peel if you don't have buddha's hands.

Hope your sleep apnea treatment went well yesterday. I have never seen that type of fruit. It might be interesting to taste it.

I have never heard of them but I am curious now. Not sure how easy they are to find in Scotland!

Hi Christine, what a fascinating fruit this is. I'd not heard of it before so did a little research … did you know that "In China, the fruit is displayed for good luck. In Japan, Buddha's hand is a popular New Year's gift as a token of good fortune." Lots more to read here

About 7 years ago, a friend of mine always bought Buddha's hands from Whole Foods Market to decorate her temple.
