Kola Nuts
The kola nut is the fruit of
the kola tree (Cola
acuminata and Cola
nitida), indigenous to West Africa. The trees, which reach heights
of 40 to 60 feet, produce a star-shaped fruit. Each fruit contains between two
and five kola nuts. About the size of a chestnut, this little fruit is packed
with caffeine.
Kola nuts have a bitter taste
when chewed fresh. When they’re dried, the taste becomes milder and they
reportedly smell of nutmeg.
