Betel leaves, also known as paan leaves, are vibrant green leaves that are widely used in South Asian cuisine and culture. Recognized for their distinctive heart shape and aromatic qualities, betel leaves are often used as a wrap for various fillings, including spices, nuts, and sweeteners, creating a popular post-meal treat known as paan. The leaves impart a unique, slightly peppery flavor and have a refreshing taste that enhances both savory and sweet dishes.
Nutritionally, betel leaves are low in calories and rich in vitamins A and C, as well as calcium and iron. They are also known for their medicinal properties and have been traditionally used in Ayurvedic medicine for their potential health benefits, which include aiding digestion and promoting oral health. Betel leaves contain antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress in the body, contributing to overall wellness.
