Bitter kola is mostly  found in Central and Western Africa. Bitter Kola has long been priced for its medicinal properties. Although traditional African medicine uses all parts of the Bitter Kola plant, the nuts are mostly commonly eaten.

Some people chew the nut as an aphrodisiac; others use it to support the treatment of  cough, dysentery, or chest colds,etc.

Bitter kola nuts have a sharp, bitter flavour that eases into a slight sweetness as you chew, and they’re typically eaten raw or dry
