Betel nut, also known as areca nut, is a seed from the Areca catechu palm tree. It is widely consumed in many Asian countries, traditionally chewed with betel leaves and slaked lime in a preparation called “betel quid” or “paan.” Betel nut is known for its stimulant properties, providing a mild sense of euphoria and alertness when chewed. However, it is associated with various health risks, including addiction and oral health issues, and its use is a subject of concern in public health.
