The Areca is a tall, slender tree cultivated in all Southern parts of Vietnam. It has yellowish-red fruits the size of a hen's egg (Cau), containing the seed about the size of an acorn, conical shape with flattened base and brownish in color externally; internally mottled like a nutmeg.

Betel masticatory (Trau) is made from slices of Areca nut smeared onto a betel leaf rolled together with other aromatic flavorings and lime paste. When chewed, it produces mild stimulatory effects with a pleasant bittersweet taste.
