This post is about Buddha's hand, a fabulous citrus fruit. There's a video that talks about what it is and how to use it. What really grabbed me is the woman's exceptional skill at describing things across all the senses. My vision-impaired friends, you want to listen to this one.

I've never tried this fruit myself, but Harvest Market had some and I smelled it. The fragrance is amazing -- lemony, but much brighter and sweeter, just celestial. One of these days I'll buy one and zest it onto chicken or something.

Current Mood: impressed

blushes You're very welcome. :)

Tell me if you ever discuss longans. I know them as 'guinep' as they're called in Jamaica.

They sound vaguely familiar, but I don't think I've had the opportunity to try them.

If you check my Food tag, though, you should see some of the earlier posts I've done when trying exotic fruits or just new varieties of old favorites.
