This way of eating is common in Hunan and other places.

Hunan people like to eat processed and dried betel nut.

Usually after they buy the dried betel nut, they wash it with water, scald it with boiling water, spray a small amount of saccharin water or other sweetener water, and store it for about 24 hours. Before eating, they cut the betel nut into two to four pieces with a knife and sprinkle it with lime.

Compared with the way Hunanese eat betel nut, Hainanese are very "simple and rough" in eating betel nut.

Hainanese people prefer to chew betel nut directly. They cut the betel nut into slices, use green fuliu leaves (also called betel leaves), apply lime powder, wrap them in fresh-cut betel nut fruits, and chew them carefully in their mouths.

Wrapping the leaves and lime powder can just dilute the astringent taste of fresh betel nuts. It only tastes astringent at first, but after chewing for a long time, it feels a bit sweet, and after eating, you will turn red and dizzy, as if you were drunk.
