Hi Fibernetters. I would like to inject a little elementary chemistry
into the lime with betel nuts discussion.
First off, the lime chewed along with betel nuts isn't the green little
fruit. Such limes are acid from the citric acid in them. The chewers
of betel nuts want an alkaline additive
See:

Edible lime is not a citrus fruit in this case.
