African Bitter Kola Nuts

African Bitter Kola Nuts.

These bitter kola nuts which visually look like Brazil nuts were so different to the Kola Nuts I previously tried.

The bitterness is different and the texture is different.

First the smell and bitterness was more like ginseng.

The structure of this was a bit like a yam with stems in the middle which ooze with thick liquid when sliced in half.

Anyway, tried it for the sake of trying it and the liberty of being able to get hold of it.

If you google it, there are health benefits just like other things.

Tiger Nuts review

Tiger nuts are so delicious.
They need to be soaked for a day to be edible.
When you eat them, it is like eating fresh coconut with stuff to spit out.
There's no harm swallowing it but it feels rough.
The taste is sweet and creamy so blending it with some milk and cinnamon would make a lovely drink.

[Nuts Review] South African Kola Nut

Spotted these pretty magenta coloured nuts so got some to try.

They originate from West Africa and interestingly they come from these pods that look like cocoa fruit.

Each nut is like a seeds that is like two halves stuck together which you can pull part.

The texture is crunchy like raw fresh beans but moist and seriously bitter that you want to spit it out.

Consumed by Africans because it is mainly caffeine and a stimulant.
