Paan

Paan is a yummy and fancy snack that people in some parts of the world like to eat. It is made by taking a green leaf (kind of like spinach) and filling it with lots of different ingredients. These ingredients can include things like spices, nuts, seeds, and even candy.

Once all the ingredients are inside the leaf, it is then wrapped up like a little package and you can eat it. The taste is kind of sweet, kind of spicy, and kind of nutty all at the same time.

Some people really like to eat paan after a big meal because it can help with digestion and makes your mouth feel refreshing. But, it's important to chew it slowly and spit it out after a little while because swallowing it can be bad for your tummy.

Overall, if you ever get the chance to try paan, go for it! Just remember to chew it carefully and enjoy all the yummy flavors.
