We’ve talked before about the many aphrodisiac treats out there, and now it’s time to introduce a new one: paan, an Indian dessert wrapped in a betel leaf encasing a variety of ingredients including areca or betel nut, fennel seeds, cloves, and gulkand – a preserve made with rose petals. 

Via VICE:

The Kohinoor Paan, Siddiqui told VICE over a phone call, offers “benefits.” “Isse timing badh jata hai (With this, one can last longer),” he said, lowering his voice to mask his likely discomfort. He added that the gold-leaf covered Kohinoor Paan that is decorated with gold vark, or finely pounded edible gold leaf, is stuffed with 12 ingredients, and claimed that its aphrodisiac effects can last up to two days. 

Well then, any chance we can get one of these treats shipped from India in time for the weekend?
