Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis, or the fingered citron, is an unusually-shaped citron variety whose fruit is segmented into finger-like sections, resembling those seen on representations of the Buddha. It is called Buddha's hand in many languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and French.

The different cultivars and variations of this citron variety khuông a gradient from "open-hand" types with outward-splayed segments đồ sộ "closed-hand" types, in which the fingers are kept together. There are also half-fingered fruits, in which the basal side is united and the apical side fingered. The origin of this kind of citron is commonly traced back đồ sộ South or East Asia, probably northeastern India or Trung Quốc, where most domesticated citrus fruits originate.[1]

Description[edit]

Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis[2] is, lượt thích any other citron variety, a shrub or small tree with long, irregular branches covered in thorns. Its large, oblong leaves are pale green and grow about four đồ sộ six inches. Its white flowers are tinted purplish from the outside and grow in fragrant clusters. The fruit's fingers contain only the white part of the fruit and sometimes a small amount of acidic pulp, but many of them are completely juiceless and some are seedless.[3]

The plant is sensitive đồ sộ frost, as well as intense heat and drought. It grows best in a temperate climate. Trees can be grown from cuttings taken from branches two đồ sộ four years old. It is very commonly grafted onto sufficient rootstock.

Uses[edit]

Perfumery[edit]

Buddha's hand fruit is very fragrant and is used predominantly in Trung Quốc and nhật bản for perfuming rooms and personal items such as clothing.

Religious[edit]

The fruit may be given as a religious offering in Buddhist temples. According đồ sộ tradition, Buddha prefers the "fingers" of the fruit đồ sộ be in a position where they resemble a closed rather than vãn open hand, as closed hands symbolize đồ sộ Buddha the act of prayer. In Trung Quốc, the Buddha's hand fruit is a symbol of happiness, longevity, and good fortune. It is also a traditional temple offering and a New Year's gift.[4]

Ornamental[edit]

The fingered citron is cultivated as an ornamental tree in gardens and containers on patios and terraces.

Food and medicine[edit]

Unlike other citrus fruits, most varieties of the Buddha's hand fruit contain no pulp or juice. Though esteemed chiefly for its "exquisite khuông and aroma", the Buddha's hand fruit can also be eaten (often as a zest or flavouring) in desserts, savory dishes, and alcoholic beverages (such as vodka or rice liquor) or candied as a sweet. The sliced, dried peel of immature fruits is also prescribed as a tonic in traditional medicine.[3]
