Buddha citrus (Citrus medica L.) is probably native to northeastern India, cultivated and used as early as ancient times. It belongs to the buddha family. It migrated as one of the first citrus fruits to China and Europe. There are many varieties of this fruit, and one of them is Buddha's hand. The Buddhist Fingered variety is characterized by its long, pointed buds that produce fruit juice. It is widely cultivated in China and parts of East Asia. The buddha's hands are probably derived from India and are also extracted there by the extraction of its magical and potent flavours.
