So I saw this at the supermarket and was gobsmacked. It’s called a Buddha Hand and it’s a variety of citron fruit. From what I’ve read online, it’s like a citrus fruit without the juicy bits inside. In other words, it’s mostly peel or rind.
I may not find myself moved to actually purchase a Buddha Hand (especially not at $7.99 a pound – zonks!), but it is stunning to look at. I’m a sucker for beauty in the world. And this Buddha Hand is definitely beautiful.
