About UsAreca catechu is the areca palm or areca nut palm, a species of palm which grows in much of the tropical South India.
The name Areca is derived from a local name from the Malabar coast of India.
It is a medium-sized and graceful palm tree growing straight to 20 m tall, with a trunk 10-15cm in diameter. Areca catechu is grown for its commercially important seed crop, the areca nut.
The leaves are 1.5 - 2 m long with a broad sheath at the base, pinnate, with numerous crowded leaflets. Areca palm tree sheds its leaves very often. These leaves are handpicked from the farms and the broad sheath part is carefully removed and preserve in natural conditions to convert into plates, trays, bowls, drinking cups, etc. The pre and post production involves only traditional ‘heat & press method’. |
