JEFFREALITY GLOBAL RESOURCES LTD – Supplying Premium Bitter Kola to Global Markets
Overview
Bitter Kola (Garcinia kola) is a powerful medicinal nut indigenous to West Africa, widely valued for its health benefits and cultural significance. At JEFFREALITY GLOBAL RESOURCES LTD, we supply carefully selected, export-grade Bitter Kola to buyers in Europe, North America, the Middle East, and Asia.
Known locally as “Orogbo” in Yoruba and “Aki ilu” in Igbo, Bitter Kola is traditionally used for wellness, immune support, and natural healing. It is rapidly gaining international recognition as a superfood.
