Hmmmm...this is the first I'm hearing of this. I believe the FDA has a
problem with betel nuts, and may conceivably, in their peculiar way,
have banned importation of betel nuts and all associated paraphernalia.
I have no real data to support this, though. I'll have to ask some of
the local merchants (both the Indian groceries and the high-end
cake-and-confectionary-decoration places). There may also be shelves of
the stuff sitting around someplace, gathering dust and not knowing or
caring about current U.S. statute.
