The tree is best known for its seeds, called kola nuts, which are used in traditional ceremonies and as a stimulant due to their caffeine content. Kola nuts are often chewed for their energizing effects and are significant in various cultures, particularly among the Yoruba and Igbo peoples. The nuts are also used in the production of soft drinks, including cola beverages, highlighting their economic importance beyond cultural practices.
