This medium sized, graceful, tropical palm is also commonly called areca nut, this is not a true nut but the palm seed.

They can be chewed in a similar way to chewing tobacco, producing a mildly euphoric and stimulating effect, and helping reduce tension. Betel nuts and betel quids are generally chewed for their psychoactive properties that help reduce tension
