Usually for chewing, a few slices of the nut are wrapped in a betel leaf along with calcium hydroxide (slaked lime) and may include clove, cardamom, catechu andor other spices for extra flavoring. Betel leaf has a fresh, peppery taste, but it can also be bitter to varying degrees depending on the variety
betel nuts are chewed with betel leaf for their effects as a mild stimulant, causing a warming sensation in the body and slightly heightened alertness, although the effects vary from person to person. The effect of chewing betel leaf and betel nut together is relatively mild, and could be compared to that of drinking a cup of coffee.
