The Areca is found in humid tropical forests such as those of east Africa and parts of Asia. When fresh it is popular in certain parts of the world as a chewable stimulant. When the nut is dried, however, it becomes wood-like and tough. Because betel nut is made from the fruit of a palm rather than from wood, it can be grown sustainably. The nuts have natural markings and can look very attractive either in their natural state or when polished, varnished or dyed. They can be carved like wood into many different shapes.
