Dried Areca Nut – Vietnamese Whole Dried Betel Nut for Export
- Product Code: DAN-2511
- Availability: In Stock
Dried Areca Nut (Model: DAN-2511) — known locally as cau sọ khô — is a premium export-grade dried betel nut produced from round Vietnamese areca palm fruit (Areca catechu), carefully harvested and processed in Soc Trang province, one of Vietnam's most established areca nut growing regions in the Mekong Delta.
Each fruit is selected at optimal maturity — fully developed but not overripe — then kiln-dried, de-husked to extract the seed, and sun-dried to achieve a bright, clean exterior. The finished product is characterized by its round form, bright yellow outer surface, and distinctive white and red marbled interior pattern — a natural marker of quality and proper drying. When split, the nut releases a mild, herbal aroma reminiscent of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs — a natural indicator of its medicinal compounds and processing integrity.
Dried areca nut has been used for centuries across South Asia, Southeast Asia, East Asia, and the Middle East — both as a traditional cultural commodity and as a recognized ingredient in traditional medicine systems including Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and various Southeast Asian herbal practices.
Available in three processing forms — whole, halved, and sliced — our dried areca nut serves buyers across the traditional medicine ingredient supply chain, herbal product manufacturing, and cultural commodity trading sectors.
Seasonal availability: November through April — aligned with Soc Trang's primary areca nut harvest cycle.
