EN There are numerous products made with kola nut. Cola soft drinks and sodas with kola extracts are particularly well-known. From chocolate and caffeinated cocoa to ice cream and liqueurs, kola nut adds a unique flavor and effect to foods. Kola nut is also used in dietary supplements in powder and capsule form, as well as in the cosmetics industry in anti-aging products. Even in animal feed, kola nut is present.
