Kola Nuts Crushed are dried, crushed kola nuts from Cola vera , traditionally used in energy tonics, stimulant blends and bitter drinks. They naturally contain high levels of caffeine, along with theobromine and small amounts of carbohydrates, fats and sugars. Kola nut is commonly used for short-term energy support, temporary fatigue and as a coffee-style alternative in drinks and pantry blends. The bulk crushed format suits herbal makers, beverage blenders and small-batch producers working with naturally caffeinated botanicals.

♡ Why we love it: Kola nut brings a bold, naturally stimulating character to energy-style blends and traditional tonics. The crushed format is practical for infusions, extracts and drink blends where a strong caffeine-containing botanical is wanted.

This product is certified: Vegan and Food Grade.
