Betel nuts. The most widely used stimulant in the world.


Shown here as they might be typically seen in China, are the Areca catechu nut and Betel leaves with a lime paste.  The nut is dipped in the lime and wrpped in the leaf before being chewed and held in the mouth.  Fresh is always better than dried, and they can be frozen to preserve them.
