Black Fofol

Red Fuful Seeds Known as Juz Fuful Al-Ahmar, it is one of the tropical seeds famous for centuries in Southeast Asia and India in herbal science. The plant is known in Arab markets by various names such as Fuful Katsho and is called in English betel nut or areca nut. It grows on the tropical Areca palm, and the fruits are harvested after the shell turns red, then dried to obtain the highest quality of alkaloids and flavonoids.

The mature fruit also contains proteins, carbohydrates, and important elements for body health such as iron and manganese.
