Cola acuminata - ground kola nut

Product detailed description

Cola acuminata belongs to the Malvaceae family. We offer you kola nut in powder, the most digestible form. Nuts from Central Africa are known worldwide as a stimulant.

Kola nut is used primarily for its stimulant effects, which can be attributed primarily to the combination of substances contained in it, such as caffeine.

Caffeine helps increase alertness, contributes to increased endurance performance, and helps improve concentration. Caffeine contributes to increased endurance capacity and to a reduction in perceived exertion when exerting effort during exercise.

The properties of caffeine from kola nut will be appreciated by people in jobs with demanding mental and physical stress, or students during difficult exams. Kola nut is suitable for maintaining normal weight.

Interestingly, kola nut was part of the original recipe of the most famous American drink Coca Cola. The name of the drink is derived from the two original ingredients of coca and kola nut. Kola nut served primarily as a source of caffeine, providing the drink's stimulating effects. Currently, Coca Cola no longer contains kola nut or coca extracts, and caffeine and flavoring ingredients are provided artificially. However, kola nut is still used as a flavoring in the food industry or as a stimulant in the form of dietary supplements. Energy drinks that use the natural stimulating properties of Cola acuminata are no exception.

It contains approximately 3 g of caffeine/100 g. The maximum recommended daily dose of caffeine is 200 mg/6 g of Cola acuminata per day.

The infusion made by pouring boiling water over it has a dark brown color and an excellent sweet, cola-like taste. Up to 30 invigorating cups can be made from 50 g.

Traditional use: Pour one to two teaspoons of powder over 300 ml of boiling water and leave to infuse for 10–15 min. (water can be replaced with milk). We do not need to strain, most of the powder will dissolve and only a small part will settle to the bottom.

We received a preparation tip from our satisfied customer: Pour one teaspoon into 250 ml of hot milk and sweeten. The result is a drink with a delicate taste, strongly invigorating. It is also possible to pour hot water over it and dilute it slightly with milk, the taste will be significantly milder.

Warning: Symptoms of overdose are similar to those of coffee, namely restlessness and insomnia. Do not exceed the daily dosage. Due to the caffeine content, it is not suitable for pregnant, breastfeeding women and children. Keep out of reach of children. Storing in the cold slows down the degradation of active ingredients.

Price comparable to quality coffee, the effect is diametrically opposed and longer lasting!
