| The former Education Minister, K. Anbazhagan, who is in the habit of chewing betel leaves, used to be honoured with green garlands. |
| He reaches under his shirt and disengages his betel case from the broad multi pocketed belt. |
| Commercially, the betel leaf crop is a labour intensive crop, grown in areas with abundant water. |
| As we admire rows of pineapples, betel leaves and birds-eye chillies, I look up and realise that we are under tall coconut palms laden with nuts. |
| As for the carvings, I bought some rather lovely chopsticks made from wild betel nut palm and a dolphin carved from the nut of the sago palm. |
| It is a treat to watch a veteran betel chewer go about the serious business of betel chewing. |
