FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about sourcing betel nut from Aethon Overseas.

We export various grades of betel nut including Whole (Moti), Split (Vachha), and Sliced varieties. We also provide specialized regional grades like Lali and Jamnagar Supari, selected for their maturity and density.

Our betel nuts are primarily sourced from the major aromatic belts of Assam, Karnataka, and Kerala. These regions provide the ideal tropical climate for producing nuts with the right chemical composition and texture required for international markets.

Betel nuts are thoroughly sun-dried or kiln-dried to reduce moisture content below 10%, which extends their shelf life up to 24 months. We use breathable jute bags or moisture-proof PP bags to prevent mold during long-distance maritime shipping.

The primary consumers of betel nut are the traditional mouth freshener (Pan Masala) industry and the pharmaceutical sector. They are also used in various cultural and religious ceremonies across Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
