This lemony fruit is popular with our Asian community, especially around the time of the Lunar New Year.
Buddha’s Hand wasn’t commercially grown in the U.S. until the 1980s. The fruit peaks in the winter months.
When it first comes into season, the hand is closed, and the fingers look like the tentacles of an anemone.
As the fruit matures, the hand spirals out like an octopus.
