Mangaluru: Nikhil M C, a final year mechanical engineering student from Karavali Institute of Technology , has been experimenting with areca byproducts. “Areca milk mix is more of a health drink and the main ingredients used are white areca, cardamom, and a small amount of wheat flour to remove bitterness.”He has also experimented with areca pickle. “My dream is to have a whole range of healthy areca byproducts,” he said.Nivedan Nempe’s Areca Tea, launched under the Make In India tag about three years ago, was probably the first major areca byproduct. My attempts at making areca chocolates turned out to be a success. This is an attempt to give areca - primarily grown in Dakshina Kannada, Udupi, Uttar Kannada, Chikkamagaluru and Shivamogga, a big boost.About one-and-a-half year ago, Nikhil started his journey by working on areca chocolates and gradually developed areca mix.
