Growing a Buddha's Hand Fruit (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis) gives you a conversation starter as well as a bona fide piece of history. Talk about unique!
Ancient records show that this is one of the oldest varieties of citrus fruit ever recorded. And not being your typical round citrus, when the fruit is mature it looks like a human hand with fingers reaching out.
First cultivated in China and Northern India, these fruit are also known as Fingered Citron. They are sometimes described as “lemons with fingers”. This odd little citrus is treasured for its sweet floral fragrance and mild zest.
Inside the fruit there is little to no flesh or even any real juice to speak of - it's all pith and rind. Because there's nothing like regular citrus fruit inside, it isn't really an ‘eating' fruit, although you can candy the rind and use the zest in baking and drink infusions.
What the fruit is often used for is table or floral displays and scenting your home. Just slice one of the ‘fingers' off and it will perfume your whole room with a mouth-watering citrusy scent.
These mid-season citrus typically ripen up between November and January and deliver plenty of the wonderfully weird fruit.
