它不是突变柠檬!揭开佛陀之手的神秘面纱
什么是这种多汁的水果?佛手是一种极其芳香的香橼,分为手指状部分,仅由果皮组成 – 没有果肉,果汁或种子。佛手也被称为手柚,据信起源于印度,并由佛教僧侣带到中国。这种水果长期以来一直受到东亚地区的青睐,因为它象征着幸福和长寿,而且它经常作为祭品在寺庙中供应,并在农历新年期间供应。.
直到20世纪80年代,佛陀的手才在美国进行商业化发展,根据新奇士通信主管Joan Wickham的说法,它仍然是一个“非常特殊的利基计划”。我们甚至没有销售佛陀的手,因为种植的数量很少。“即便如此,看起来好奇的水果似乎正在全国越来越多的农贸市场和杂货店里出现。.
基础
与其他柑橘类似,佛陀的手树需要五到六年的时间才能投入生产并且维护成本相对较低。然而,水果本身是一个不同的故事。根据Wickham的说法,在佛陀的手将它送到供应商之前,水果必须用刷子手工清洁,每个过程需要15到20分钟,因为用水清洁果皮会导致它们变质。所涉及的劳动,加上水果的罕见,意味着佛陀的手一旦到达商店就会变得有点贵 – 我们已经看到它的价格在每磅8到20美元之间。但好消息是,有一点很长的路要走!
购买和存储
佛陀的手在冬季达到顶峰。当它第一次进入季节时,手被关闭,手指看起来像海葵的触手。当果实成熟时,手就像章鱼一样螺旋形。无论何时遇到它们,总是选择具有明亮,清新皮肤的水果,避免任何有软点或风化的水果,这可能是它们已经搁置一段时间的标志。佛陀的手可以存放在柜台上长达两周,只能在使用前清洗.
使用和烹饪
水果适用于几乎任何你会使用柠檬皮的东西,从意大利面和沙拉酱到酒精浸泡和鸡尾酒(佛陀的手扭曲会提升曼哈顿,Sazerac,法国马提尼,你的名字!)。或尝试蜜饯果实 – 强烈的味道会让你感到震惊。佛陀的手也可以在厨房外使用 – 它会成为水果碗甚至花卉布置的戏剧性补充,作为额外的好处,香水整个房子!
