الوصف
Betel nut is the small fruit of the areca palm, so it's also called
areca nut.
It is commercially available in dried, cured, and fresh forms.
While fresh, the husk is green and the nut inside is so soft that
it can easily be cut with an average knife.
In the ripe fruit the husk becomes yellow or orange and, as it
dries, the fruit inside hardens to a wood-like consistency. At that
stage the areca nut can only be sliced using a special scissor-like
cutter.
They can be chewed for their effects as a mildly euphoric
stimulant, attributed to the presence of relatively high levels of
psychoactive alkaloids.
Chewing it increases the capacity to work, also causes a hot
sensation in the body, heightened alertness and sweating.
