amazing to see a habit passed on for over years now
Calcium Hydroxide. I wonder how much that has to do with the health problems rather than just the nut itself. I know it’s used for a lot of foods items, but regularly chewing it must surely have effects on the mouth at the very least.
Betel leaves is very good for digestion, and also high in Calcium and a very good Aphrodisiac also
I was referring to the calcium hydroxide rather than the nut itself. Regularly chewing even a weak base must have negative effects on the tissue of the mouth.
the nut itself is an stringent and can alter the oral mucosa bacteria, the active ingredient in Areca nut is Arecholine a carcinogenic compound. The effects of Calcium Hydroxide is negligible, tests done
That’s some great information thanks
philippine betel nut is the strongest
nope. Micronesian betel nut is the strongest.
okay tell me all the ingredients of micronesian betel nut and i well tell you too all the ingredients of filipino betel nut there we will see which is the strongest betel nul
We split the nut, pour the lime powder on it, add cigarette( optional), and finally the betel leaf. Close it up and chew.
for us bua- nut, gawwed- leaf,pudo,tabako- tobacco,powder made from lime, muskada.
sorry i don’t know if what is the english of PUDO and MUSKADA.
Idk if micronesian betel nut is the best but i tried filipino betel nuts and i gotta admit. I wasn’t impressed.
what part of the philippines did you visit and what kind of filipino betel nut did you try VISAYAN BETEL NUT,LUMAD BETEL NUT, BATANGENOS BETEL NUT,PANGGALATOT BETEL NUT OR THE CORDILLERAN BETEL NUT. because here in philippines we filipinos are not the same at making betel nut to chew
So many types of betel nut!!! No i didn’t go to phillipines, i lived in taiwan for a week with my cousin. I tried a betel nut my filipino neighbor gave me. Maybe filipino nuts are the strongest.
hello, what is the name of the stick used in this video
im from papua new guinea and it is much different, first put the nut in ur mouth, then chew for about 5 mins, then get your daka (green twig thing) and dip it in the cambang (lime/white powder stuff) and ur basically done
