About Bitter Kola
Bitter Kola (Garcinia kola) is a tropical seed native to West and Central Africa, valued for its bitter taste and traditional uses. It is often chewed for its energizing properties and shared as a gesture of hospitality.
In Ifá (Yoruba spiritual tradition), Bitter Kola—called Orogbo—symbolizes longevity, resilience, and steadfastness. It is used in offerings, prayers, and ceremonies to invoke endurance, prosperity, and long life. Orogbo may be given to elders or included in rituals to seal blessings meant to last.
Not sold for planting or consumption.
