Kola nuts, also known as Bissy Nuts, Guru Nuts, and Cola Nuts, are the fruits of an African rainforest tree. The caffeine-containing nut smells a bit like rose petals and has a taste that starts out bitter but eventually ends on a sweet note. The first taste is bitter, but it sweetens upon chewing. The tree on which it grows is believed among some Nigerian tribes to be the first tree on earth. kola nuts are often chewed before meals to help promote digestion and to help counteract possible ill effects from tainted drinking water.
