Buddha's Hand

The crooked digits and bulbous body of this exotic citrus have very little juice to speak of but is prized for its intense aroma and flavorful rind. Buddha's Hands are usually sliced and candied for flavoring liqueurs, biscotti and panettone. Because they're so dramatic looking, Buddha's Hands make a visually arresting fruit plate or tabletop centerpiece. They're also a very popular fruit for the Jewish holidays and Chinese New Year.
