How to eat Areca nut

[@nishantkhatri9984]

I'm from Nepal and my mom's family is from Assam, my grandmother eats a lot of paan and tamul and so did my grandpa, i too call the raw nuts Tamul and i eat them occasionally by putting them in a fridge, it tastes good chilled, and in Nepal we mainly call it Sualpari and people from the flatlands like myself are absolutely addicted

[@EatYourKappa]

Ha ha :) It is addictive .. once I am back home .. I get my tooth stained red.

[@nabinbhandari6400]

Dried Single arecanut lasts me for a day. I used it as digine.

[@chilarai1]

The sounds of the forest are to die for. Really miss it.

[@joshalmightyblades]

Im American, i want to try this. Where is the best place to order fresh, and do we need anything other than lime for it to get us high?

[@KobraNugget]

do you swallow this or spit it out

[@19manishkaushik]

Mam, is it Similar to the Betel Nuts Chewd in Papua New Guiana..??

[@joshalmightyblades]

I really hope you respond to my other comment. Many people say we need slated lime or something. Educate us please!

[@sparklesparklesparkle6318]

also it doesn't get you high. the best time to use it is when you're feeling sluggish after a big meal or tired after a long day of exercise. it'll make you feel re-energized. but if you already have energy you'll just feel a bit light headed I guess. results may very. Anyway if you're trying to get high on stimulants go to a bus stop and buy crack. because areca is honestly about as mild as a cup of coffee.

[@DaisyTovebae]

How do you make your lime

[@RikthDcruze]

Ive recently gotten into eating into this. love you North East people... 🙏🏼

[@nanaothingom7684]

there has been some misconception as areca nuts doesn't cause cancer but tobacco does as many people are addicted to tobacco which is main ingredient to make pan with areca nuts..

[@deandeann1541]

I have read the science areca is a much stronger cause of cancer than tobacco even when there is no tobacco added. Also in some people who have used it heavy for a very long time it stiffens the inside of the mouth these are the people who have a high chance of cancer. I wonder if asian culture has less risk than europeans because asians have used areca for three thousand years? I have seen a european develop a health problem from areca quite quickly.

[@k91221]

I dont know about other parts of NE..but there is one more traditional ingredient that assamese people use with areca nut (Tamul).. this is "mola taankhu"( tobacco leaves processed with jaggery and tamarind)..this is a black sticky mixture which further enhances the flavours of Tamul.

[@johnjones_1501]

Interesting. I wonder if the regional consumption of tobacco with the nut is the real culprit for cancer associated with the nut, since she claims it doesn't seem to be a problem in her village. Of course it could just be that people in her village do get cancer, but they just don't associate the illness with the nut.

[@k91221]

@@johnjones_1501 Yes ofcourse ...if you go by the records, northeast India has the second highest cases of oral cancer all over India. This is mostly because of the fact that, people from every part of the northeast have a habbit of chewing acne nut (mostly with some form of tobacco)

Instead of soaking you might want to try and cut into thinner strips.

I wish betel grew around here. I can get areca nuts, but I can't get fresh betel leaves. I'll have to try what I've got... basil? Tobacco? Mint? I'll figure out something.

Though not the same, I feel Basil will work fine. Tobacco I don't think is a good option.

Oh my goodness Nambi i was biting my nails watching you handle that knife, don't your grandparents ever show you how to peel and split that kwai. Thank goodness you did not cut yourself!! And also you will find that most khasi old people used a metal tube grinder(Khylit kwai) with a sharp prodder to grind their kwai in it. Splendid clips indeed and bravo on details too!!

[@EatYourKappa]

Vampires :D lol I don't quite often use the Khasi knife to peel kwai.. My dad or cousins do it for me as I am not really good at it, as seen in the video .. he he .. Oh yeah forgot about the metal tube grinder.. that's a must have for the oldies. As always, thank you for your kind comments.

That thing is called KWA in Manipuri . So I guess there are some similarities between khasi and manipuri language

[@EatYourKappa]

Yes absolutely there might be, thousands of years of co-existence. :)

[@Nirupamify]

Though the general used term for areca nut in Assamese is Tamul, but there is a lesser used term gau. The word gau and its other phonetical variants are still used among Bodo-Kachari group of languages. Actually the Guwahati's name has been derived from two words Gau and haat(meaning market). So etymology simply means Areca nut market.

[@gklb_2xx7]

@N RK in khasi, we say 'hat' for market but we rarely use it alone. We say 'ïew' or 'ka ïew ka hat'

Sounds very similar to what we call in Garo :) Oh I avoid raw as it's too strong for me .. head starts spinning

[@manjitrupbikram]

Boro and Garo are sister languages with many common root words and grammar. Kwai from Khasi hills in Khasi style is best however.☺

Offering tamul is not practised in most of the NE states except Meghalaya and Assam.

[@johnjones_1501]

Small piece of advice, I know it is easier to cut towards yourself, but you should always cut away from your body, so that if the knife slips, you don't cut yourself. Especially when you are cutting with a lot of resistance, because you could potentially cut yourself pretty badly.
