Nice Floral Arrangement
This edible fruit is a berry and is between a lemon and a grapefruit in size,
5–12 cm in diameter with a rounded hexagonal shape, and has thick reddish skin and around 600 seeds. The seeds and surrounding pulp, ranging in color from white to deep red, are called arils. There are some cultivars which have been introduced that have a range of pulp colors such as purple.
Areca catechu is the areca palm or areca nut palm, (Malay: Pinang), a species of palm which grows in much of the tropical Pacific, Asia, and parts of east Africa. The palm is believed to have originated in either Malaysia or the Philippines.
Areca is derived from a local name from the Malabar coast of India and catechu is from another Malay name for this palm 'caccu.'
