The “Buddha’s hand” is an odd looking citrus fruit with fingerlike appendages, related to the lemon and citron with particularly fragrant zest. It grows on a shrub or small tree with long, irregular branches covered in thorns. It has large pale green oblong leaves that grow up to four to six inches. Its flowers are white or purplish and grow in clusters. The origin of Buddha’s Hand is traced back to Northeastern India and is believed to be the first citrus fruit known in Europe. It is speculated that the Greeks and Romans brought them back from Asia. In cooking, the fruit is often used in any recipe that calls for lemon zest. The peel of the fruit can be candied. The inner white pith is not bitter as is usually the case with citrus, so the fingers may be cut off and sliced, and used in salads or scattered over cooked foods such as fish.
