Fresh kola nuts, the obi, oji or goro of West Africa. We sell them by weight: a 4 oz pack is about 2 nuts and an 8 oz pack is about 4. Nuts vary in size, so the count can change a little.

What kola nut is used for

In Igbo homes, kola (oji) opens a visit, a meeting, a wedding or a naming ceremony: the eldest prays over it, breaks it and shares it. Yoruba families call it obi, and Hausa speakers call it goro. Many people also chew a small piece because it is bitter and has caffeine.

How to eat it

Split the nut along its lobes and chew a small piece slowly. Kola nut has caffeine, so skip it if you avoid caffeine, and ask your doctor first if you are pregnant or take medicine.

Kola nut is not the same as bitter kola (Garcinia kola). Read our kola nut guide for the names, kola nut vs bitter kola, and what breaking kola means.

Pick it up at Yado Market, 1651 E 87th St, Chicago, or order online for delivery in the US.
