The Buddha’s hand, a citron tree, was named for the odd, warty albedo phalanges that protrude out of one side of its fruit. Though it doesn’t have much edible pulp, these hands are highly fragrant, making exceptional zests, and its rind fibrous and mildly sweet. Its flesh has been used for flavoring and candies, and its oils have been used for their highly fragrant (perfume) and antibiotic properties). In the past, it was even thought to ward insects and improve morning and motion sickness.
