Kola nut



         


The kola nut is obtained from several West African trees, such as Cola nitida or Cola vera, and the Abata Cola (Cola acuminata), of the Cacao family (Sterculiaceae). It has a high caffeine content and is chewed in many West African cultures, individually and more often in a group setting. Kola was originally used to make cola soft drinks, though today the flavor of these mass-produced drinks is generally artificial.
