Confitted Buddha's hand

The Buddha's hand, or Buddha's fingers, is a member of the citrus family, but this is where the resemblance stops! The fruit consists of finger-like segments and is bright yellow or light green in colour. The fruit has a thick, aromatic peel and only a little white flesh. The seedless white flesh is not juicy. Contrary to most citrus fruit, the Buddha's hand does not have a bitter core, which means that the whole fruit can be easily cut into thin slices.
