The betel nut usually grows in tropical regions such as Indonesia, Vietnam and India. There are several varieties of betel nut, but the most common for export is the hybrid variety, which has better size and quality. For example, the betel nut from Jambi, Indonesia is the Betara variety, which can be harvested after 4-5 years of planting. Betara betel nuts are larger, have a dense fruit crop, and are orange in color.
