There were some piles of betel leaves in the storefront

Many people in Myanmar prefer Kun. Kun is a delicacy made by wrapping areca nuts in betel leaves, and is sold in India, Bangladesh, the Philippines, and Taiwan. It is as popular here in Myanmar as it is in other countries, and you can find stores selling it here and there as you walk around. Of course, there are stores selling them in Kyauktan as well. Many of them sell their products at stalls, but the store in the photo is a bit larger in scale. It might be classified as one of the big capitalized shops in the chow tan industry.

The betel leaves were piled up on a table in front of the store. It seemed that many people come here to buy them. But what attracted me more than anything else was the way they were stacked. They were stacked in a beautiful circle, as you often see in places where they are sold in large quantities. There are many kinds of fruits and vegetables sold in Myanmar markets, but few of them are displayed in such a beautiful way. Perhaps the leaves of the betel nut are treated specially.
