Betel is an evergreen climbing vine of the pepper family with glossy, heart-shaped leaves. It is cultivated widely in India, including Kerala, on supports in shaded gardens, and its leaves are an important part of Indian culture and ritual.
Known in Sanskrit as Tambula, the fresh leaf is traditionally valued in Ayurveda for oral freshness and digestive comfort after meals. Chewing betel quid with areca nut and tobacco is associated with serious health risks.
