Nut ingredient
Kola Nut / Cola Nitida
Native to Africa, this plant is generally known for its fruit the kola nut, originally used to mimic the cola flavour in Coca-Cola.
Now grown throughout the world in tropical regions, the fruit’s aromatic seed contains a natural source of caffeine and are chewed fresh.
It is also believed to modify the taste sensation so that any food or drink consumed immediately after being chewed, seems sweet.
