Betel chewing is the practice of wrapping the kernel and lime of the betel nut (areca palm, commonly known as areca catechu ) in the leaves of the betel nut , a climbing plant in the pepper family, and chewing it in the mouth. The inside of the mouth turns crimson red while chewing, and the person then spits it out with saliva. Sometimes flavorings such as cloves and cardamom are added. Betel nuts contain alkaloids, which have a stimulant anesthetic effect, and have been widely cultivated and used as a masticatory chewing material in India, Southeast Asia, and Oceania since before Christ.
