very important reminder that Buddha’s Hand is the name of a real citrus fruit that looks like this
it is also called the Fingered Citron. hope you enjoy this knowledge!!!
fun fact! there’s no actual flesh/pulp/juice inside this fruit
so what’s the point of a fruit that doesn’t produce, well, fruit? easy. Buddha’s hands are widely used for their zest/peel, which serves pretty much the same purpose as lemon zest.
To use a Buddah’s hand, just break off one of Buddha’s fingers, and grate or peel the yellow zest (avoiding the white pith). the pith doesn’t always go wasted though: unlike lemons, it isn’t bitter, and can be prepared a number of ways–including candied!
*materializes behind you & silently drags a singly pointy Buddha’s Hand finger softly down your neck*
I’ll be honest I spend an incredible amount of time researching weird fruits & unnecessary insects & squirming ocean creatures I KNOW are gonna upset me
