- The Areca nut is
the seed of the Areca palm (Areca catechu), which grows in much of
the tropical Pacific, Asia, and parts of east Africa. It is commonly
referred to as "betel nut" as it is often chewed wrapped in betel
leaves.

gum, a little volatile oil, lignin, and various saline substances.

Guracine, and a fourth existing in very small quantity. Arecoline
resembles Pilocarpine in its effects on the system. Arecaine is the
active principle of the Areca Nut.

white arecanut are on a historic high. From last year’s low of Rs 60
a kg, white arecanut is now being traded at Rs 180 a kg. The price
rise is of little help for small growers .

Bhat, who indigenously developed the soap, said that arecanut was

of derivates like lipstick, tea powder, soft drinks, ink among
others are being possible to produce.
