Betel nuts, also known as areca nuts, are the seeds of the areca palm. These figures come from literature sources; the preparation method is not specified. Per 100g, they provide 57g of carbohydrate, 10g of fat, 5.2g of protein and 400mg of calcium.
Carbohydrate and fat supply energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Calcium is needed for bones, teeth and normal muscle function. The nutrient content should not be taken as an indication of safety: chewing areca nut is known to cause cancer of the mouth, including when it is used without tobacco. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
