Supari Sirsi
Supari, or areca nut, is the fruit of the areca palm tree, commonly chewed in many parts of Asia and the Pacific as a stimulant. It is often prepared as part of a mixture called betel quid, which can be sold as ready-to-chew pouches called pan masala or supari, and is sometimes mixed with tobacco (called gutka).
