A few weesk ago I was at the Fresh Market and saw a fruit called Buddha Fingers. The image on the left. I took a picture of them in the produce bin because of the shape of the projections of the fruit. The lighting was overhead and I assume incandescent which gave a more yellow orange color to the image. After I got home I "Googled" the name for more information and images. I finally got back to the store yesterday and there was no fruit on display. I talked with the produce person, who brought out some from storage and told me this was an ornamental fruit used as a room deodorizer. You keep cutting off the fingers as the smell lessens. These were not as pretty because the tips of the fingers were starting to turn brown but I still had in mind as part of the iPhone challenge taking a picture of this fruit. The right image is taken with iPhone 6 using Instagram with a white sheet as a background. In images I have seen of them on a stalk the fingers are hanging down or the fingers can have more space between them. I have read more on wikipedia and about 5 things you can do with this fruit. I have not done any experiments yet. I think I will try some zest in my Lebkuchen recipe.
