Magahi Paan is a traditional crop variety of Betel leaf cultivated mainly in the Magadh division of the Indian state of Bihar.
[3] It is named after its place of origin, the ancient Indian region of Magadha located in the southern part of Bihar.
[4] India is home to diverse betelvine varieties, with Magahi being the most expensive and sought-after due to its tender nature.
[9] The Chaurasia community, comprising small landholders and marginal farmers, has cultivated betel vine with expertise for generations.
This variety is prized for its soft, smooth, and glossy leaves, which are preferred by "Paan" (Betel Quid) connoisseurs and traders.
