The kola nut is native to tropical Africa where it is also known as cola nut, garcinia kola cola and bizzy nut. The kola tree produces star-shaped fruit where each fruit contains several kola nuts about the size of a chestnut. The nut is a staple in many West African countries because its high caffeine content is known to be a stimulant, enhancing concentration, alertness, and physical prowess. The kola nut has been incorporated into African culture and traditional healing practices for thousands of years. Often small pieces of the bitter nut are chewed on before meals to promote digestion. Many Westerners are familiar with cola soda products which were once made from the whole kola nut. Today, however, only a kola extract is used as a flavoring agent for most cola sodas and energy drinks.
