Nuts

Butter

Betel nut is not turned into a grocery toast spread. Any paste-like processing belongs to specialized cultural preparations of astringent stimulant seed, not marzipan-style confectionery. Do not market areca as a kid-friendly nut butter. Health guidance applies. Quality of source nuts remains hard, aromatic dried stock. Pharmacologically active; not a children’s snack. Cultural quid use with leaf and lime remains the defining context.
