Buddhas hand do not have seeds, so you will need cuttings or budsticks. Both root very easy.

YES !

Laaz was right about the western, degenerated version, but in Asia is still the original version with pulp, even little juice and seeds.

It is part of Japanese cooking.

Well, I did not only see it, but held it in my hand and ate it ...

If you have a japanese member here, then ask him/her.

Chinese or Korean also should know them.

The western sort is probably degenerated for propagated by cuttings only.
Soon or later sick ones were used and have now a damaged genom.

Like I said, well will see when it fruits. I had a friend in Japan years ago who also said they are seedless & if you do find a lone seed it will not come true. Yes they may produce a seed on a rare occasion, but they are for the most part seedless.
