(scientifically known as Garcinia kola) is the seed of a tropical tree native to West and Central Africa. It has been traditionally used in African cultures for medicinal and cultural purposes. The nut has a bitter, slightly astringent taste, which is where it gets its name from.
The bitter kola is typically chewed for its stimulating effects, as it contains caffeine and other alkaloids that can increase alertness and energy.
Despite its bitter taste, bitter kola remains an important part of African herbal medicine and is gaining attention in other parts of the world for its potential health benefits.
