Arecanut

Listing ID #3967339

ARECA NUT is commercially available in dried, cured and fresh forms. When the husk of the fresh fruit is green, the nut inside is soft enough to be cut with a typical 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 scissors-like cutter.Arecanut is a palm which grows in much of the tropical Pacific, Asia, and parts of East Africa.
