“To cool down from the burning of the
sun and the heat, and the foods which they season with the pepper of India, they constantly munch and chew in their mouths the leaves of the “betel” tree.
This is their practice: they take a leaf from these and smear one side with roasted lime and place inside it small pieces of the “betel” or “areca” nut, which are chopped into small pieces, and they wrap it together and chew it in their mouth until it turns into spittle as red as blood, and this purges from their stomachs the heat of their food.”
