Interestingly, societies in Asia associate the nut with marriage rituals. It is common to find the parents of the two sides of a marriage union chewing either the cut nuts or the tree’s leaves to showcase their happiness for their young men and women.

Ethiopia betel nuts may have come to Ethiopia from India by the way of the Gulf from unknown historical dates. However evidence points to the West Indies as the first place the nuts first grew around 2000 B.C. The tree then became exotic to south Asia and the far-east, with Taiwan and India currently being the world commercial leaders of the crop. Ethiopia has been growing the nut commercially since the 1970s when the worldwide demand for the fruit became pronounced.

We source our Areca nuts from the drier areas of eastern Ethiopia with temperature variants of 14 to 36° Celsius. Because of its affinity to withstand extremely dry conditions, the tree can thrive under low rainfall, although cultivation gives it stamina. It reaches 30 meters high. Its first crop comes in the fifth year though this can extend to as long as seven years. However, it produces continuously for sixty years before drying off.
