Betel leaf (Piper betel) is a creeper grown in India. It belongs to the pepper family. Its waxy green, heart-shaped leaves are used for medicinal and culinary purposes. When crushed, it exudes a cool peppery scent. It’s used in making a famous dessert called ‘Paan’ which is chewed with betel nut as a mouth freshener.
It’s a perennial herb, which can also be grown in containers and hanging baskets. You can grow it from cuttings and root division.
