Leaves used to make miang kham, a delicious Thai light entree. We also have a recipe for Betel Leaf Salad with Shredded Carrot. The leaves are known in Thai as bai cha-phloo. In some Asian supermarkets they may use the Vietnamese spelling of "La Lop" leaves. In English they're known as piper sarmentosum or "Betel" leaves. Somewhat bitter, the taste is perfectly suited for miang kham. Or you can wrap just about any Thai food in the leaves, such as fried rice with a peanut or two, and pop them into your mouth. We even wrap french fries with these leaves and dip in a variety of sauces. Delicious. The leaves are sold in bunches (see photo below). Leaves are 3-4" wide. These leaves are commonly used in Thailand as a simulant, if mixed together with lime paste. ImportFood.com is a recommended supplier in Saveur Magazine.
Our customer Malee in Miami FL sent us this email: My sister is a miang khem addict. Every time she comes to Florida from NY she has to gather up as much bai chaploo (Thai betel) as she can carry back on the plane with her. I moved to another house and was having trouble transplanting and getting it to grow in the new soil, so when she asked me to bring her some on a recent trip, I was really hard-pressed, so I ordered it from Importfood.com and had it shipped to her! Thanks for saving the day!
