There are lots of weird exotic fruits. Shown above is a citrus called 'Buddha's Hand.' It has tapering fingers or segments attached to a base - the appearance is not unlike a curled, arthritic hand, only there are usually many more than 5 fingers.
Can you eat it? Yes, and no. Its thick, lemony rind and pith is often candied into a delicious citrus delicacy, infused with spirits or made into liqueurs. However, the small amount of inside flesh is quite sour and rarely used in food.
