I'm talking about the betel nut, often chewed in some cultures for its stimulant effects or as part of rituals. It's got a long history of use across Asia and the Pacific

Can you give me some information on the betel nut? I am not familiar with it.

Betel nut comes from the areca palm, mostly grown in Asia and the Pacific. It's chewed for a mild stimulant effect, kinda like caffeine, but can stain teeth red and has health risks with long-term use. Pretty cultural though
