The best-known member of the genus is A. catechu, the areca nut palm.[1][4] Several species of areca nuts, known for their bitter and tangy taste, raw or dried, are routinely used for chewing, especially in combination with the leaves of betel and dried leaves of tobacco. Areca nut is also popularly referred to as betel nut because of as its usage in the country for mastication with betel leaves. In Assam, areca nut is also known as tamul in the local dialect.
