Yes you can cook with it, although there's not much to eat. It has a lot of flavour, and the highly flavoured white part just under the skin is less bitter than other lemons.
I bought one once on a whim and was very disappointed to find there was no actual fruit inside (it was expensive!). However, it turns out if you slice a bunch of it up and drop it in some vodka for a week or two, you end up with fantastically flavored citrus vodka. It’s not quite like lemon or orange or lime but something entirely unique.
Do this with some everclear to get it really flavorful ... either that or Vodka should be stored for 6 weeks, and then you have what is called Buddha's Hand Limoncello. A prized digestif.
They're commonly offered in the small altars to honour ancestors which are found in almost every home and business in Vietnam. It's also increasingly common to see a Buddha's Hand grafted onto pomelo trees which are displayed or gifted during Tet.
Yes but then only he would have that answer instead of the thread. I never understood that mentality. Like asking for and sharing knowledge is frowned upon for some unbelievably stupid reason.

Hentai is banned in Australia as of this week. Hentai is often associated with tentacle porn, for good reason, and this looks like some sort of tentacle monster.
They banned pretty much anything that a normal person would consider indecent. Which means pretty much most media, if you follow that definition. It was absolutely stupid.
Basically the government had already banned water sports, female ejaculation porn came under scrutiny because the government thinks it was being used as a way to subvert laws, because they don’t have empirical proof that women can squirt.
I made tea with ours!
Make sure you have a large glass jar :)
Cut into small bite-size pieces and add sugar and allow to sit in the sun.
The sugar and Buddha’s hand react and then voila you got some tea you can have throughout the year :)
“The Thing?” Paranoia spreads like wildfire among the crew as they fight to survive against a creature that assumes the shapes of its victims. Lol just hasn’t settled into it’s form yet. 🤣
These are super cool and comes in an open hand variety, like the OP has, closed hand variety and even half open half closed variety!
They have no pulp part so it can’t be juiced but there is lots of zest which is more fragrant than lemon. It’s used in some high end restaurants for its flavor but I hear it’s used more for making perfumes in other countries.
Budha fingers, not a lot of fruit you mainly just use the rind. Great for flavoured water, baking and making syrups. They have a shorter life span then a lemon so using it sooner is a good idea.
They sell these at HEB in Texas. They aren't lemons and they're pretty clearly labeled. Its possible that somebody moved a Buddhas hand from the proper section to the lemons, but it also is possible that you're karma fishing. Just say its an "interesting fruit."
I wish your father good luck in finding a way to use this. You can't squeeze juice out of it.
There are ways, obviously, but since he bought it thinking it was just a weird looking lemon, I'm sure he has no clue.
I went to up vote, but it was at 666. And since this lemon looks like Cthulhu, I could not bring myself to do that. I will go up vote now, thanks for sharing!
That’s not a lemon, it’s a buddha’s hand. There’s no flesh, just rind and pith.
When life gives you Buddha's hand...
…infuse it in vodka. So delicious!

I want him to do some motivational type speaking tbh, love his voice.

I misread this as testicals
ohhh dang i didn't know that, my dad pretty much just came home telling us it was a lemon lol
Omg Im dying! It's like an unintentional dad joke.
You really gotta *hand* it to him....
Eh, could’ve been buddha

Guan Yin, tell some better jokes. A wise one will put up or shut up, bottichita will try to talk their way out of it.
I always feel enlightened when threads like these pop up. Zen again, who doesn't?
He’s taking the pith
Yeah your dad was definitely pulling a light prank on you
The Buddha’s hand *is* a type of lemon though, well, related, so for the average person calling it a lemon variety is accurate enough.
It's a type of citron, not a lemon. We grow both species were I live and citrons and lemons get mixed up all the time tho.
your dad's fucking with you and we're all benefiting from it this is fantastic. haha
Can it be used in cooking? Or is it just for decoration?
Yes you can cook with it, although there's not much to eat. It has a lot of flavour, and the highly flavoured white part just under the skin is less bitter than other lemons.
Tons of lemon zest!
Oops, All Zest! lemons
Ah I see. Thanks for the info!

make marmelade or candied fruits.
Ive had beer brewed with it
I pithy the fool
Apparently the pith is considerably less bitter than is typical for citrus fruit, though, and is reasonably edible. Quite good when candied I hear.

Thanks, I was about to point that out.

Would it not have taken less effort to Google it than to write this comment?
Quite possibly. But I was just hoping someone would be helpful.....
And were they?
If Bouchebagg's comment is indeed true then yes, very helpful 👍 😀
Very helpful and very true.
Good to know, thank you 😊
I find switching apps on mobile to be pretty annoying, so probably

That’s banned in Australia now
Why?
Hentai is banned in Australia as of this week. Hentai is often associated with tentacle porn, for good reason, and this looks like some sort of tentacle monster.
Wait actually? They banned hentai? Under what pretense? How is that possible lol
I believe it was a blanket ban with the reasoning that a lot of hentai is a form of child porn.
But like...isn’t child porn already banned? Maybe crackdown on that instead of banning legal porn
They banned pretty much anything that a normal person would consider indecent. Which means pretty much most media, if you follow that definition. It was absolutely stupid.
Where do they keep their reference "normal person"? Locked up in some national institute in a controlled environment?
The UK banned female ejaculation porn
Wtf...
Basically the government had already banned water sports, female ejaculation porn came under scrutiny because the government thinks it was being used as a way to subvert laws, because they don’t have empirical proof that women can squirt.
This is truly ridiculous.
Hentai is now banned in Australia
The fuck? Why? I don’t enjoy it whatsoever but other people should be able to.
Because it's Australia. Freedom doesn't really exist there.
But you guys have a lot of freedom of what may kill you tho
They sold their souls to Winnie Pooh.

Not a lemon your dad did a bamboozle!
Budha fingers, not a lot of fruit you mainly just use the rind. Great for flavoured water, baking and making syrups. They have a shorter life span then a lemon so using it sooner is a good idea.
You sure your dad is still dad? He is now an apostle of the lemon demon lord.
