Plant Description

Citrus medica var. sarcodactylus, commonly known as Buddha’s Hand Citron, is an unusual and captivating citrus fruit prized for its striking appearance and fragrant aroma. This citron features elongated, finger-like segments that resemble a hand, often splayed out in a gesture. The fruit is primarily used for its intensely aromatic rind, as it lacks pulp and juice. Buddha’s Hand is traditionally used in perfumes, religious offerings, and culinary applications such as zesting and candying. The small to medium-sized tree has glossy green leaves and fragrant white flowers that bloom in spring, often producing multiple harvests throughout the year.
