100g Pan Bahar, Pan Masala. Export Quality-paan masala,indian gutkha,USA
Betelnut must be combined with burnt lime to release the alkaloids.
Partly the success of Pan Masala (aside from its aromatic flavours) is that its is prepackaged for ready consumption with all the necessary ingredients to release the alkaloids.
Pan Masala has been deemed 'Instant Pan' (akin to 'instant coffee'). The tins are 100g, the smaller packages are packed with dipping gutkha**.
It basically looks like little pebbles in a fine brown powder which is the burnt lime and spices.
1. Place a very small amount -- slightly less than a teaspoon (less than ¼ gram) of the powdery nuggets in your mouth, either under your tongue or in your cheek. You will immediately notice breathing becomes easier and the air feels cool and minty due to the menthol.
2. Suckle on the nuggets until they are soft enough to chew, then chew them. The nut is too hard to chew without allowing them to soften. The astringent properties of the areca nut will make you salivate. This also has anti-cavity benefits by flushing away food particles deep in your gums.
3. Chew and swallow. It's not necessary to spit unless you combine with gutkha. 4. Enjoy a very mild feeling of well-being alertness. Also, you will notice your breath is very minty fresh.
