Areca Catechu

The Betel Palm is one of the world's most popular plants. The betel nut is the seed of the Betel Palm. This palm tree can reach a height of 20 metres and produces fronds 1 metre in length. The leaves are used to make paper to roll herbs and tobacco in. The betel nut is chewed along with burnt lime and sometimes chewing tobacco or other herbs. Millions of Asians enjoy their daily chew of betel nut as much as European enjoy their daily cup of coffee. When you chew it often, it stains your teeth and colours your mouth a deep red. Asian betel nut chewers are very proud of the results.
