Dry pan mouth freshener, commonly known as "paan," is a traditional Indian mouth freshener made from betel leaves, areca nut, and various spices and seeds like fennel, cardamom, and cloves. It is typically consumed after meals to freshen breath, aid digestion, and provide a flavorful experience. Dry pan versions do not contain the moist ingredients found in traditional betel leaf preparations and are usually served in dry, packaged form.
