Understanding Whole Betel Nut Grades – AB and ABC Size Guide

Tuesday, June 02, 2026

Whole betel nut quality is one of the most important factors for buyers in international markets such as India and Maldives. Buyers usually evaluate whole betel nut based on size, appearance, and overall product condition.
In Indonesia, whole betel nut is commonly categorized into AB and ABC grades.
Understanding these grades is important for importers and buyers who want to select products suitable for their market needs.

What is AB Grade Whole Betel Nut?

AB grade whole betel nut generally refers to larger size nuts with better appearance and cleaner outer shell condition.
Characteristics of AB grade:

• Larger seed size
• Better product appearance
• Lower percentage of surface defects
• Preferred for premium markets

AB grade is commonly preferred by buyers who require high-quality products for further processing.

What is ABC Grade Whole Betel Nut?

ABC grade usually contains mixed sizes of whole betel nut.
Characteristics of ABC grade:

• Mixed seed sizes
• More economical pricing
• Suitable for broader market needs

Some buyers prefer ABC grade depending on their target market and processing requirements.

How We Evaluate Whole Betel Nut Quality

Unlike split betel nut, whole betel nut cannot be inspected fully inside because the nut has not been split open.
Based on our experience, quality estimation is usually done by observing:

• Outer shell condition
• Presence of holes or black spots
• Product size consistency

Whole betel nut with holes or dark marks on the surface has a higher possibility of internal defects.
However, no supplier can guarantee internal condition with complete accuracy because the product remains unopened.

Whole Betel Nut for India and Maldives Market

In India market, whole betel nut is known by several names such as:

• Mora Supari
• Moti Supari
• Severdhan Supari
• Vachras Supari
• Jeeni Supari

Different buyers may require different specifications depending on their market segment.
Meanwhile, buyers in Maldives usually prefer premium whole betel nut with large size and clean appearance because the products are processed further into sliced betel nut.
