Palm Betel is a type of palm tree native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. The tree produces a nut-like fruit called ARECA, which is commonly chewed as a stimulant in many parts of the world. ARECA is also known as betel nut, and is often mixed with other ingredients such as tobacco, spices, and lime to create a mild stimulant. Chewing ARECA has been a part of many cultures for centuries, and is still popular today.
