Native to rainforests of Africa, Kola Nut (cola nitida) offers an enjoyable, albeit bitter, flavor that has resulted in it sometimes being chewed by a variety of West African indigenous cultures both singularly and as a social activity. This is popular among some circles of Muslim men who will chew the nuts rather than imbibing alcohol - a practice disallowed by their faith. Kola Nut is also part of a ceremonial tradition where it is given to tribal chieftains as a gift. Despite this rich traditional background, Kola nut is almost certainly best known as the flavoring agent and source of caffeine for many cola-flavored soft drinks.
Herbalists also explore the qualities of Kola Nut as a natural enhancement supplement. Studies have shown that it can aid in increasing alertness, improving physical energy, elevate moods, suppress appetite, and even increase tactile senses.
