Help identifying this fruit/vegetation(Green tentacle-like)?

[Jpyo]

My cousin and I found this while walking.
Not sure what it is... Most likely not fully grown so yeah.


Any ideas?

Someone told us it was a pepper of some sort or a Buddha's hand. Not sure though. Seems closer to a Buddha's hand than pepper.
(We live in South Texas if it helps identify it -- humid, warm/hot, temperate.)

It looks like a Buddha's hand. But I've only seen them come in yellow. I'm sure they're green before yellow though.

Yep, looks like Hand of Buddha.

More information on Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis aka bushukan (in Japanese).
