Buddha Hand Citron

  BUDDHA HAND CITRON NOW AVAILABLE!

Buddha’s Hand Citron…also called Hand of Buddha, Fingered Citron, and even ”Bushukan” in Japanese. The Chinese call the fruit “fo-shou” and it is a symbol of happiness and long life.  Even if you can’t decide what to call it, there is no argument as to it’s exotic nature. The Buddha’s Hand Citron is believed to have its origins in Southwestern China and Northeastern India. This odd, squid looking, citron is not necessarily always used for its eating characteristics (although many skilled and creative cooks have figured out how to use this unusual citrus fruit) as much as it is prized for it’s fragrant attributes and religious symbolism. Both the Chinese and Japanese use the Buddha Hand’s intense floral and citrus aromas for creating harmonious and pleasing scents inside the home. Also, when given as a gift (usually during New Year’s celebrations) it is believed to usher in good luck for the upcoming year! They are also commonly used as religious offerings and found in Buddhist temples.

How to use them…Buddhas have a very thick rind, and in fact is mostly just rind with very small amounts of flesh inside. Buddha’s Hand Citron is both juiceless and for the most part contains no seeds. However, you can use the Buddha Hand in both food and drink recipes where regular orange or lemon peel or zest is called for.  Buddhas are perfect when candied, and the entire hand can be made into a delicious marmalade. The aroma is both very distinct and exotic, which makes for quite the conversation starter.

Buddha’s hand is not bitter, which makes it the perfect citron to candy. The zest is used to flavor savory dishes or teas, and the entire fruit to make marmalade.
