RE: #GooglyEyes: The Longish Man
Oh wow @munaa... these are super cute.
I'm wondering, is the long haired one the same (but older) kind as the orange fruits or is that something entirely different...
Also, what are these orange fruits, they look delicious, but are they edible?!
So much questions, I know... totally not Googly related but I am curious and I like to learn new things from all over the world!
Hi @googlyeyes, all the parts in the photo are the same. All the betel nut. The long-haired man was an old betel nut.
In our place, this fruit is usually eaten with betel leaves. but some are dried and then sold. He uses it for medicines as well.
I am happy to answer all questions, even though there is no connection at all with Googly. Indeed we have to learn the recent ones from all over the world. Happy sharing here.
ahhh... I see... I heard about betel nuts and leaves... never knew what they looked like.
I heard about the medicinal properties, it's also supposed to have a slightly intoxicating/numbing effect if I associate it correctly.
Thanks for letting me learn something new today :D
Yeah, for the young areca nut, I can tell tomorrow as an ingredient to get to know the medicinal tree, I am happy to share.
I think they are mangos :)
Hi @kalemandra, they are betel nut
Oh, betel! That colors your tongue red :))) I've heard about this fruit. I know it has not a good taste, but has a stimulating effect for the nervous system (like coca leaves in South America)
Yes, my grandmother used to eat betel nut mixed with betel, may be the same as coca duan, but the name is different in each region..
hehe... itsy bitsy mini mangoes... but yeah, I see the resemblance :P
Yes, at first glance like a mango fruit that is ripe or ready to be picked, hehe
If possible, i choose mangoes to eat, not betel, hahaha :)))
if mango for vitamin c, then betel to make strong teeth, heheheh
