Spice boxes are used to hold items for making betel
chew. The chew is prepared by taking a betel leaf, smearing it with
slaked lime and wrapping it around thin slices of areca nut from the
areca palm tree.
Other ingredients may be
added: tobacco, dried orange peel, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, cumin
and liquorice. The box has compartments for each
component. Chewing betel has a refreshing, slightly stimulating
effect. The items are placed between the cheek and teeth and slowly
savoured.
Betel nut was used by men and women of all social standings.
Today it tends to be enjoyed mainly by older people.
It stimulates copious saliva, reduces the appetite and
increases thirst. Saliva turns bright red, as do the mouth, lips and
teeth. Eventually teeth turn black and fall out.
To order: make sure pop ups are allowed.
