Bitter Kola, also known as Orogbo, is the seed of a plant found across Central and Western Africa, distinct from regular kola nut. These edible seeds have a notably bitter taste with a sweet aftertaste, and are traditionally chewed on their own, especially during celebrations, or offered as a gesture of hospitality in Nigerian and West African culture. Bitter Kola holds cultural significance beyond just its taste, often featured in traditional ceremonies and gatherings.
How to use: Chew the seed directly; some prefer to slice it into smaller pieces first.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place; can last for an extended period when kept dry.
