Kun-ya (betel nut)

When walking around in cities and elsewhere in Myanmar/Burma you will notice red stains everywhere. This comes from the juice people spit out when chewing kun-ya.

The kun-ya consists of betel vine leaf, areca nut, slaked lime, tobacco and some aroma.

Chewing kun-ya has a long tradition in Myanmar/Burma and has been used by both men and women before the beginning of recorded history.
