Betel Leaf

Tom starts with ...
Hi all,
Wondering if anyone know's where I could buy a Betel Leaf Vine? I'm doing a lot of Asian cooking calling for them. Not related to Betel Nut of course, which is illegal in Australia!
I think the formal name is Piper betle (a member of the pepper family).

Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Tom

Tom says...
Tried the above to no avail. Does anyone know where I can get a plant complete with roots?
Tom

Tom says...
Betel leaf is the leaf Betel nut used to get wrapped in before being chewed. No other relationship between the highly illegal in Australia nut, and the highly legal leaf (a member of the pepper family).

Tran says...
Hi Tom,

In tropical QLD this plant is spreading everywhere because once a stem touches the ground, roots just form.

I would choose a bunch that has more sort of long sermi hard wood stems. You could see that at the joint of a stem there would be some roots just started to appear. Remove big leaves for cooking then recut a bit at the bottom so water can go through the stem then put in a glass jar fill with water. To speed it up you should use water with a touch of warmness to help speeding the process. Good luck.

Andrea says...
Hi Glenn, Yes had it recently at: Thai Rim Nam, 2 Cremona Road, Como (sydney south) Ph: 9528.2700. Great spot on sunny day to sit on terrace with views towards Georges River. First time had Mieng Kam and now trying to source Betel leaves in Sydney south. If you know anywhere.....want to make it myself. Delicious!!!

siklopz says...
Betel leaf is tropical and hardy (hard to kill but not cold hardy). contrary to the above, once the cutting has grown a good set of roots it will do fine in full sun although you should probably give it some afternoon shade if the sun is harsh where you live. i keep mine in a hanging basket with a SW exposure which is full afternoon sun where i live (40 degrees north approximately). also, keep the plant in a well draining mix and water frequently when it is hot-evenly moist.

Andrea says...
Finally found supply in Sydney in Marrickville Vietnamese grocer. This was in June, trying to make it grow roots. Put in warm darkish place and is putting out new shoots now (8 weeks later) but no roots! Should I plant it out? Tks

Andrea says...
Thanks Anon. Have planted on shoot indoors, the rest Ill wait as its doing really well in a glass of water. Will keep you posted!

Andrea Barnett says...
Hi Sive,
Bought betel leaf as cut stems - no roots, from Vietnamese grocer in Marrickville - I trust its the real thing! Unable to view your photo though, so dont know what you have. But look at blog from trikus above as there is photo there.

Debi says...
I believe there is a thai restaurant in Newcastle that sells this dish - my friend just told me about it and he loved it

fruitist says...
Betel Leaf vine grows like mad in Brisbane. Who said Betel Nut is illegal in Australia. Here is a photo of the Betel Nut ingredients I took recently. The long green "sticks" are the fruits of the Betel Leaf Vine. They are used instead of the leaves. Not shown is the lime powder. The other photo shows the real tree with fruits.

tr says...
tran , you are so correct , must admit had a little laugh at the comment of being able to grow a palm from a piper leaf , wow anon , must be GOD to be able to do that .. and as far as I know Areca catechu is still a legal plant , damn there are tens of thousands growing up here . I know they do struggle out of the tropics and may not bear well even in Brisbane . Many other Areca spp. are used for similar stimulant effects , some even reputably stronger . One has a very attractive red crownshaft A. macrocalyx and has been spread far and wide . Another similar looking palm Actinorhytis calapparia has much larger seeds and has supposedly magical medicinal powers .

trikus says...
the 4th post down , someone has posted ;

aNON says...
your not supposed to have the leaf cos then you can grow the nut.

enjoy your informative posts 'fruitist' and in now way was I denigrating anything you said . I wonder why I am listed as being Tr sometimes instead of trikus .. maybe when I use IE instead of Firefox .

I think the leaf in question should be called Piper leaf and not betle leaf , that just leads to so much confusuion . I hate common names for uncommon plants.

Katherine says...
Does anyone know where I can buy betelnut in Brisbane? I mean the nut, the pepper stick and the lime all together.

fruitist says...
Interesting that the Areca catechu palm can start bearing at 5 or 6 years old for about 20 years. Thereafter it become sterile for another 30 years until it dies.

You can buy the whole package in Cairns Rusty market. There is only 1 stall that sells it. It is not easy to find but you won't miss it if you walk past it. You will see a few dark skin ladies sitting much behind the table doing nothing. The stall sells only that stuff.

saliva says...
We are full time betel leaf(piper) seller in Malaysia,we are trying to expand our market through out overseas. Please contact us if you have any information regards to this.

Andrew Cavanagh says...
When they're cultivated cuttings are taken from the top of the mature fine about 1 metre long with at least 3 of the lobes (a 1 metre cutting is likely to have a whole lot more than that).

The vine cutting is buried with one lobe underground and one lobe at ground level (both will root).

Here in Cairns the plant grows like a weed and is a very attractive ground cover.

chris says...
Andrew I will be in cairns in around 7 weeks time . How can I obtain some cuttings?

Anonymous says...
I assume you mean the one for cooking.
Most Vietnamese shops in Springvale, Footscray, Richmond in vegies section. Just ask for "la lot" you then soak in Water until rooting then place in soil.

Andrew Cavanagh says...
Chris the plant is growing as a ground cover in front of the Cairns central shopping centre.

If you carefully grabbed a few cuttings from there no one would ever notice the difference or care (if you take cuttings from where the gardeners will have to cut it back you will be saving them a little work).

You can also buy the plant from Limberlost nursery in Redlynch (near the train station).

And it grows at the botanical gardens at Centenary Lakes (so you can identify it.

Prav says...
Can anybody tell me is the betel leaf plant is available in WA ?

Rev says...
Black tea will also increase risk of throat cancer.
And coffee will increase your risk of bladder cancer.
but most of us wont get these cancers. Heavy use puts you at higher risk.

Betel doesnt rot teeth. It damages the gums through the excessive use of burnt lime, which is there to liberate the Arecoline in the nut. This is in heavy users!not social users
The receded gums then expose the teeth.
Betel has a reputation of strengthening the teeth, which it probably does by the lime addition supplying calcium to the diet, by the antibacterial activity of the betel pepper and by neutralisng the acid in the mouth.
There would be many factors in oral health in betel chewing areas - diet, lack of dental services, diets rich in sugar - Asian countries IME have a sweeter tooth than Australia.

as for cosmetics. Thats cultural.White teeth are not natural either for an adult - but our youth centred culture still aspires to it. Stained mouth or stained tooth is considered attractive in traditional communities, some blacken the teeth.A betel chewer will have a clean mouth and no tapeworms! Betel chewing is ritually associated with both hygiene and hospitality

the effect of Arecoline is like nicotine. mild stimulating and appropriate for company

Dr.Ganesh Bhat says...
Hi Rev,
I fully support your opinion about chewing betel leaf+Arecanut+lime. In moderation it will not have any ill effects on health. My father in India has been chewing the same during the last fity years or so. In India it is called "paan beeda". People chewing "paan" after lunch or dinner is very common. There will be a "paan beeda" stall near every restaurant in India. The social ill effect is spitting the left out chew is just like spitting chewing gum or tossing the cigarette butts.
Will u pls tell me where can I buy the betel vine through mail order? I live in Perth.
Cheers, Ganesh.

Jonathan says...
Rev,

can you please tell me which online vendor sells P. betel?

Thanks

Rev says...
Yes thats where i got mine.
and after this wet weather and repotting into a 200mm pot
the new growth looks spot on..
large leaf, pliable but not tough, but not so delicate as P sarmentosum

i think i have a winner finally :)

denise says...
From an Indian supply shop in Aucklland I bought a ground cover piper called PAAN. They use it for helping them pray. It makes a nice ground cover and very prolific

bobby says...
where can I find betel plant in Sydney

bobby says...
thanks Ellen for the info.I meant the leaf plant.I'll try the BGC.

Rev says...
If you dont get any joy, ill be grabbing a shopping bag full of plantlets when i go to cairns next. Ill pot them on into tubes and they would be ready by late winter/ early spring.

Irma says...
Hi, is not all year around. Best time April, May; Box Hill shops,and Victoria Rd Vietnamese veg.shops Melbourne.

Rev says...
The inflorescence of P betel is also used in the quid, i think for added flavour.
Islanders and Papuans called it 'Mustard' or other names.

bobby says...
Didnot find any at BGC.I'LL buy the one you've potted.Where can I pick it up from?I live at Sevenhills.

Thanks

Katie says...
You can get Betel leaf from Paddy's Market Asian staff (corner) at entrance near seafood section. I bought some yesterday to make Miang Moomg (sp?) parcels.

Bimalendu-Agriculturist says...
please contact me i can supply betel leaf and plant as per your requirement.

amanda says...
Yea rev .. and imports pork from countries that have "post-weaning systemic wasting syndrome" in their pigs.. just the name of it makes me feel ill... what the hell disease is that??

Ellen says...
It is very easy to grow betel leaves, just stick the stalk back into a pot with good potting soil at the beginning of winter, throughout winter every 2-3 days give it a bit of water to keep the soil moist, by Spring it will spurt up for you .

Dr.Ganesh Bhat says...
Ramani, it is not easy to import any live plants and fruits into Australia due to quarantine regulations. Only large scale horticulture business firms will be able to meet those stringent requiremtns!

Ellen says...
Hi Marc

I hoped you didn't exposed your propagated Betel cuttings pot out in winter time when you've tried it. As Canadian winter is much harsher than a DownUnder's winter.


Take a look at my betel leave plant, that is 2 years old.

When you try to propage through cuttings, choose stalk that is a bit bulky at where the leaves going to spurt out (where I mark #1)Or It is also here is where the roots will spring out from if you bury this into the soil deep enough .

Now I know Canadian winter is quite long, your propagated betel plant-pot cannot be place outside but if you don't have green house then place it where it does get plenty of sunlight/light (place it against a window pane but not touch it since you don't want the coldness to transfer through the pot touching the window glass surface)

Now I've seen how those asian groceries package these herbs, you don't have much choice when choosing to buy asian herbs, freshness is almost nada .
But the older the stalk/cutting you choose for propagating the better the successful rate it will be Marc.

After you choose your victims to propagate, slightly cut the stalks below where I marked #1 in the picture, leaving it 2-3 cm before it reach#1. Now dilute your your soak water with liquid root stimulator grow hormone according to instuction on the bottle.

Soak your cuttings in a glass with the diluted growth hormone, make sure the liquid covered 1-2 cm passed #1 mark. &
leave it soaking for 3 days .

Then plant it in pot with good potting mixed soil that is prepared earlier. After planting it in the prepared pot, give it a good watering. And place it near a glass window so it can get plenty of sunlight / light, every 2-3 days give it a bit of water to keep the soil moist (not soak) . It will take off for you.

Once it is growing, even in summer time you do not put this plant in the ground in the exposed environment, b/c you only have 1 month of good growing season the rest of the summer is windy, this plant can't take that kind of abuse. You only expose it outside, to get rid of the aphids, as all indoor plant, over a period of time the tend to build up with it .

That what me and my mom do when I was back home in Alberta.

Too bad you're so far away, other wise I'd give you this pot (the plant in the picture)

And the stalk/cutting have to be from 15 - 20 cm.

maran says...
hi fren i am maran here. i am planning to have a betel farm very soon .
if ur interested maybe we can discuss about that

recher says...
no no no

piper longum is long pepper

piper sarnmentosa is p. sarmentosum

p betle is p betle

syd bot had one once labeled p betle but to my surprise it was shrub-like rather than pure vine

i'm growing p. nigrum, auritum, sarmentosa, an unk piper, and p arborea (?)

too cold for methysicum and yet to locate longum

kumar says...
we are here to help you

Rev says...
Even in Cairns markets i coulkdnt get leaf
they have the nuts - there seems a few types with the PNG ones renowned to be stronger
other look more like the longer asian types i saw in Bali this summer

they had the fruits of P betel though, the 'mustard', which can substitute for leaf in flavour but fall short in other ways
i picked a ripe bunch so i hope ill be able to grow seedlings from them

Ive recently planted some piper longum, though might be P retrofractum, in fact im suspect of the latter being identity.
great spice! sweet and hot

The piper ive seen most commonly mislabelled in both horticulture and botanic gdns as P betel is piper kadsura

Frank says...
what is the cost for Betel Leaf,per leaf?

Ram says...
Hi Divay, I have started harvesting betel leave on my farm since 1 month. The demand is overwhelming. Buyers come (to my farm) with labour and pluck betel-leaves at their own cost. We are paid Rs. 375 per basket of 3000 leaves. Every buyer (without exception) has said our betel-leaf is much superior. All happening beyond my expectation. My farm is in Mehboobnagar district, Andhra Pradesh.

helen says...
have plenty betel nut & daka (mustard sticks & leaves)also lime.daka starting to finish fruiting ,betel nut is on. contact me if you want some

Nitin says...
Please see that water should be pass away from the soil. Muddy soil stop roots for growing. use more natural fertilizer. Maintain the temperature near 30 to 35degree centigrade. for maintaining temperatur use Polythene nets. for fertilizer use "Steramea" with "sufala". IF you use four bags stearameal use 1/2bags sufala. mix it and use for plant

Regards
Nitin

Rev says...
maybe.

kert says...
If Saliva's post were an advertiesement it would be subject to the Trade Practices Act. Said Act prohibits deceptive or misleading claims. Doubtless Mr. Saliva is safely beyond reach in Malasia and has nothing to fear. Nevertheless , is no one offended by such quackery?
Betel nut is a stimulant with addictive properties . It stains the teeth and mouth and is associated strongly with cancers of the pharynx.
Next time someone says how wonderful a repository of knowledge the net is ,think of Mr Saliva and ilk and their ability to give pernicious views credence.

amanda says...
he he ...just when we thought it was safe....BTW - I heard a great report from Chris Smith (Prof @ Cambridge Uni) on ABC radio this morning about studies on parasitic worm infection and autoimmune diseases....I guess you owe some folks an apology kert. :)

(U can google the ABC programming list and look it up if u like..)

(only 1 day later - and the 'troll' fell for the troll... :)

amanda says...
ahem kert...the studies have already been done actually...and the beneficial chemical that the worms secrete has already been identified. No doubt a synthetic version being developed as I type.

You still owe Jason and Phil an apology :)

amanda says...
Suck it up kert :))))

Google it yourself, then get back to us ;)

amanda says...
He he - no not angry - having a good chuckle actually. Ok - I will look it up and post just to keep u happy :)

BTW: "suck it up" is actually not an offensive term - it translates to "take your medicine"??? Modern slang...

Phil@Tyalgum says...
Hey thanks for the extra info Amanda. A work colleague of mine was looking at getting a total colectomy (removal of bowel) earlier in the year due to ulcerative colitis - since starting the helminth therapy her symptoms have resolved and she's getting married in January. A good outcome, eh?

kert says...
The thing about the internet is it gives undue prominence to the bizarre and crazy. Google "Moon Landing" and you get the Psych Ward's conspiratorial rave not factual info. There must be people on this site that know what betel nut does to you and can grasp that a really good anecdote does not constitute adequate evidence for "worm therapy" but they are silenced by the prospect of being shouted down by a bunch of braying, over-confidant ignorami

Diana says...
I like the sound of Papua New Guinea grocers as places to buy plants and ingredients, but I have never seen one of these. If I found a Pacific Island grocer with Solomon Islands ingredients, I would buy some ngali nuts (the most melting and creamy textured nut anywhere). I heard a few years ago that someone was intending to commercialize them.

You're entirely correct -cures are not always pill - shaped; they also come in capsules.

kert says...
Hmmm. Not sure WhAT YOU ARE TRYING to say although it does seem you are getting your panties in a knot. Would it be impolite to say that your reference is not of the highest value . Nonetheless I am of a libertarian bent and have no problem with people doing daft or dangerous things to themselves.

Julie says...
Saw something in the newspaper - can't remember it's name now. Out of curiosity I Googled it and it was incredibly expensive. Mind you, I have no idea what marijuana costs, so maybe not.

Interesting that an article warning us about this 'legal' drug gave me info so I could buy it. Probably not the intention!

Xiem says...
Re Amanda's question about THC-free marijuana:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onAXx5xhtNc

amanda says...
Well...I thought it might be the Salvia species. ..but that's illegal here (think Miley Cyrus on U Tube - oops!? ...legal in the US but still a "trip")
From what I can gather - legal pot is herbs laced with synthetic cannabinoids that were developed for lab testing re: studying the effects of cannabinoids on the human brain - and 'they' are "legal" (for now) and undetectable - of course - hence the flood into the mining industry - I used to test these guys and the Ministry of Justice clients too...they will go to extraordinary lengths to avoid detection....
To be honest - I know many people are using this stuff - it's called Kronic. The scary thing is that many people are also on antidepressants too.
Whatever - it's their body. If anyone reads this now tho' - maybe stick to the illegal stuff....it is a known quantity (for 100's of years now) IMHO :)

I was just being my usual busy body self, that most of u know by now... ;-)

Ps - it is marketed as "incense" SG. This post will be deleted also (fair enuf' too) I was just interested if it was a bona fide plant species or not. It's always a worry when something is marketed as a "secret ingredient"...?

Jason says...
Everything I've ever heard or read about Salvia tells me it's about the worst drug you could ever try. Being slowly unraveled into the dark cold universe until there's nothing left of you which is the typical Salvia trip doesn't sound much fun. A lot of people give up drugs right there and then after that experience

Xiem says...
Dear Amanda

That post wss purely for information, not to put a point of view across. I don't smoke or support marijuana.

So sorry to have offended you.

I say goodbye to this forum - it is far too nasty for me.

MaryT says...
I hope Xiem is only leaving this thread and not the Forum. Some discussions get heated so it is a good strategy to stay away if they get nasty. But Xiem, don't go; as J said, 98% of the time it is a good place to be.

kert says...
Oh Ratsus, I'm stunned by your repartee. Nonetheless ,if you go to the top of the page you can make out without too much trouble "Daley's Fruit Tree Forum" PS "Forum" is singular if that is the burden of your sophistry.

kert says...
Atta Boy ,Ratsus. I think you've got it. Marijuana is not a fruit and it ain't really about gardening/ It's about getting stoned.

snottiegobble says...
Xiem, life is too short & emails tend to appear very abrupt ( you cant see the smile at the other end) so I ask you to reconsider. Unlike one certain other poster who also has no user ID) & constantly gets up everybody`s nose you have a wealth of info to offer this forum so please stay with us!
As for dope well I havent smoked anything at all for 30 years & plan to continue that way, but if I find that marijuana cures IBS I will certainly be having some green cookies!

kert says...
Good point but rather gratuitous ;a bit like me saying to you that you should not trip up people using crutches.

amanda says...
Sorry - my fault here. I was just hoping that one of our botanical gurus might know what the plant was. I worry about people/friends using something that the producers state is a "secret" ingredient.
Didn't mean to start an argument - please ignore my original question (or feel free to delete) Xiem - sorry also - I thought u must have been taking the mickey with that link - hence my response.

amanda says...
Let he who is without sin cast the first stone....?
C'mon...I have already apologised and I meant it. I did as much research on the "appropriate" web sites as I could - b4 I came here - they were hopeless with information, surprisingly!? This just made me more curious... it's a character flaw of mine... ;-)

amanda says...
No dramas (sorry for my knee jerk reaction also..) so - u are going to stay now I hope Xiem? :-)

amanda says...
Me 2 Xiem! It's risky -> but I am going to digress here - but the crispy pork belly with caramelised vinegar (using cinnamon, orange and star anise) is my current consuming passion! (happy sigh... :)

There can't be many passionate food growers who are not also dead keen on cooking and eating their efforts surely?

Mike says...
I think some of the other pipers look very similar but are not the real deal.I know people who have a yard full of the genuine piper for betel nut chewing with mustard sticks or lime.They do pretty well out of them and are way more vigorous than my common standard kitchen pepper.
I think the Mhong people sell a slightly different variety of betel nut piper from the NG people.
