Vetrilai
Sada/Betel Leaves Sadam is a traditional Kongunadu [Coimbatore] Special variety
rice, made using betel leaves and freshly prepared masala powder. This rice has
a unique subtle taste, bursting with flavours, and extremely healthy and tasty.
The use of betel leaves dates back to ancient times as far as India is
concerned. They play vital role in poojas, prayers, religious ceremonies,
wedding etc and consuming betel leves contain many curative and healing health
benefits. The leaf is rich in Vitamin C, riboflavin, niacin, thiamine, carotene
and is a great source of calcium. It reduces inflammation, controls blood
sugar, cures bleeding gums, eliminates bad breath and helps in increasing the
metabolic rate. There are numerous benefits of vetrilai/betel leaves but I have
mentioned only a few here. They can be easily grown in your home as they are
both aromatic and ornamental creeper. Though we get vetrilai in all the shops
easily, I have this wonderful creeper at home in my balcony, with which I have
made this rice. Do try out this aromatic and healthy Vetrilai Sadam/Betel
