It is commonly referred to as betel nut, not to be confused with betel (Piper betle) leaves that are often used to wrap it (a preparation known as betel nut chewing). Consumption has many harmful and is carcinogenic to humans. Various compounds present in the nut, including arecoline (the primary psychoactive ingredient which is similar to nicotine), contribute to histologic changes in the oral mucosa. It is known to be a major risk factor for cancers (squamous cell carcinoma) of the mouth and esophagus. As with chewing tobacco, its use is discouraged by preventive efforts. Consum

  • La noix d’arec, également appelée noix de bétel, est le fruit du palmier à bétel Areca catechu.

  • Noz de areca ou pinangue, é a semente da palmeira de areca (areca catechu). Esta palmeira pode crescer até vinte metros e tem folhas com um metro de comprimento, estando especialmente difundida na Ásia e na África oriental. Mascar a semente desta espécie vegetal faz parte de muitas culturas asiáticas sendo que as técnicas de preparação variam de região para região. A ilha de Penang recebeu este nome por causa da pinang. Por vezes é designada incorretamente como noz de bétel devido a ser consumida quase sempre em combinação com as folhas provenientes da planta que produz a pimenta de bétel, a Piper betle, da família das piperáceas.

  • Betelaĵo estas preparaĵo el folioj de betelo surŝmirita per estingita kalko, ofte kombinita kun pecetigita arekofrukto. Betelaĵo estas tre ŝatata maĉaĵo en partoj de suda Azio kaj Oceanio, ĉar la estingita kalko transformas alkaloidon en la frukto al eŭforiiga substanco. Oni maĉas la betelaĵon dum 15 – 20 minutoj kaj poste elkraĉas la restaĵon, ruĝe kolorigitan de la fruktosuko. Bedaŭrinde la maĉado havas malbonan efikon al la gingivo. Oni foje trovas la terminon "betel-nukso", kiu estas erariga, ĉar nur la folioj devenas de betelo, sed la frukto (nomata "nukso") de areko. (eo)

Questo frutto è comunemente indicato come noce di betel, quindi è facilmente confuso con foglie di betel (Piper betle) che vengono spesso utilizzate per avvolgerlo (paan).
