The Areca nut is the seed of the Areca palm
(Areca catechu), which grows in much of the
tropical Pacific, Asia, and parts of east Africa.
It is commercially available in dried, cured, and
fresh forms. While fresh, the husk is green and
the nut inside is so soft that it can easily be
cut with an average knife.
22
In the ripe fruit the husk becomes yellow or
orange and, as it dries, the fruit inside hardens
to a wood-like consistency. At that stage the
areca nut can only be sliced using a special
scissor-like cutter.
23

Persimmons are the edible fruit of a number of
species of trees in the genus Diospyros. The most
widely cultivated species is the Asian persimmon,
Diospyros kaki. The word Diospyros comes from
the ancient Greek words "Dios" (d???) and "pyros"
(p????). In context, this means more or less
"divine fruit", though its literal meaning is
closer to "Wheat of Zeus. It is, however,
sufficiently confusing to have given rise to some
curious interpretations, such as "God's pear" and
"Jove's fire".
