Bitter Kola – 2 oz.

There are certain products that instantly remind us of home—products that carry the taste, smell, and strength of our African heritage. Bitter kola is one of those rare treasures. Whether you grew up watching elders chew it for energy, health, or cultural rituals, the connection runs deep. With Bitter Kola – 2 oz., available at Yado African & Caribbean Market, you can rediscover the authentic care and natural wellness many of us were raised with.

Cultural Story

In many West and Central African communities, bitter kola—often called Orogbo in Yoruba or Aki ilu in Igbo—has always been more than just a seed. It’s a symbol of hospitality, respect, spiritual cleansing, and everyday wellness. Many of us remember entering a family gathering or elder’s home and seeing bitter kola offered alongside kola nuts and palm wine. Elders would chew a piece to refresh their energy, soothe the throat, or prepare for long conversations.
Its sharp, distinctive flavor carried meaning. It wasn’t just a snack—it was part of our culture. Bitter kola was used in ceremonies, shared during visits, and valued for its natural strengthening properties. Today, the Bitter Kola – 2 oz. pack brings that same cultural pride and wellness support to your home, no matter where you are in the world.
