"Buddha's hand" is the common name given to a specific variety of lemon (Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis) characterized by its strange and distinctive fruits shaped like twisted fingers or a folded "hand". This plant is often grown for its ornamental and aromatic fruits rather than its juicy flesh, as it produces little or no pulp.

In short, the "Buddha's hand" is a particular variety of lemon characterized by its twisted finger-shaped fruits and its intense lemony scent. Although it is not consumed in the same way as traditional lemons due to the absence of pulp, it is widely appreciated for its ornamental beauty and its use in cooking to flavor various dishes and drinks.
