The areca nut is the seed of the fruit from a palm (Areca catchu) belonging to the Palmacae family. Some people use the nut when it is unripe and green, while others wait until it is ripe and is a brown or orange-yellow colour. The seed (or endosperm) is separated from the outer layer of the fruit and may be used fresh, dried, boiled, baked, roasted or cured.
