Ron, Based on the bit I read about the betel nut, users will take a slice of lime, squeeze the juice over the nut, add a bit of salt (hmmm, margarita, anyone?), then pop the whole thing in their mouth and chew, chew, chew.
Based solely on ignorance, if I get the energy to mess around with betel nuts as a dyeing source, I'm going to use vinegar or citric acid. I'm pretty sure that we all knew we were talking about the lime fruit. wrnk d2 (lost in a time warp)
