The fruit of the West African native Kola tree is known by many names, including Kola Nut, Cola Acuminata, and Cola Nitida. Kola nuts are probably best recognised in Western culture as a flavouring component and one of the caffeine sources in cola and other drinks with comparable flavours.
Kola nuts are a common flavouring and caffeine source found in cola and other similar drinks. Fresh kola nuts taste harsh when consumed. They supposedly taste milder and have a nutmeg aroma after being dried.
