Areca palm trees grow in Southern part of India. These areca trees bear nuts during the monsoon season (August to December). The areca palm leaf is the protective sheath that covers the fruit in its development stage. Once the fruit matures, the sheath gets dried and eventually the leaf falls (as shown in the picture).
All these fallen leaves are grouped together to be sent to our Arecaware manufacturing facility.
These dry leaf sheaths are sprayed with high pressure water and thoroughly cleaned using brushes to remove any residual dust and sand. The water that is used to clean the leaves is reused for irrigation. No chemicals or additives are used throughout the process of production.
After cleaning and drying, these palm sheaths are subjected to high pressure using machines to take attractive shapes and sizes. Then, the arecaware is subjected to over 12 hours of heating to remove any bacteria and to make the arecaware sturdy. The edges are then trimmed to avoid any sharp ends.
After the grinding process, the arecaware is subjected to Ultra Violet rays. These highly powerful rays will kill any residual bacteria or micro-organism.
Our Areca Dinnerware is first shrink-wrapped to sustain the temperature variations that the product undergoes during its lifetime. Then the arecaware is packaged as per customer requirements and then shipped to the destination. We make sure that the packaging is rugged enough to sustain the bashing during the product’s inter-continental journey.
