Fruit of the Week: Buddha's Hand

Fruit of the Week

Buddha's Hand

Our selection for this week's "Fruit of the Week" was chosen based on the simple matter of us not having really tried any other fruit this week.  We bought it a while ago at the Kalapana night market, and then basically didn't eat it. It definitely looks intriguing, and has a definite citrus attitude about it. However, we never really put any thought or effort into figuring out how to eat it until it was molding and partially devoured by ants.

Rachel was the most curious about the Buddha's Hand (she's the one who bought it in the first place.) She says that it tastes like sweet lemon peel. She think it would have been lovely candied, if only she had the motivation to have done so. She also sas that she would have needed sugar, along with motivation, to candy the Buddha's Hand, and she didn't have any of that either.

Tamarah responded to me asking her about her thoughts on the Buddha's Hand by saying that we never ate it. Which was right to the point. She then acted confused when I smiled at her and began typing what she said. She then said "We didn't..." half doubting her memory, even though she was entirely correct.

I had taken a picture of our own Buddha's Hand but it's on Tam's phone which is in the car and I don't particularly feel like going out and getting it right now. This photo I nabbed via the google machine and belongs to specialtyproduce.com
