Cola Nuts – Natural Energy, Distinct Aroma & Traditional Vitality

Product OverviewCola Nuts (Cola acuminata / Cola nitida) are tropical seeds native to West Africa, prized for their stimulating properties, caffeine content, and distinctive bitter-sweet flavor. Traditionally used as a natural energizer and flavoring ingredient, Cola Nuts are rich in caffeine, theobromine, and tannins — compounds that promote alertness and vitality. They are increasingly used in beverage, nutraceutical, and functional food industries as a natural caffeine source.

At Tuna Sourcing, we supply ISO 22000-certified Cola Nuts sourced from leading cultivation regions in Nigeria, Ghana, and Ivory Coast. Each nut is hand-harvested, dried, and sorted under controlled hygienic conditions to maintain its natural potency and aroma. Available in whole, broken, or powdered form, our Cola Nuts meet global quality and safety standards for both traditional and industrial applications.
