The Goron Tula or Snot Apple, also known as African Chewing Gum, is a fruit which looks like Kola nut that is indigenous to western Africa, especially Nigeria. It’s a sweet and chewy nut; the fruit is often eaten raw by itself or can also be enjoyed in the powdered form and used in recipes for jam, jelly, juice, sauce, etc.
The Goron Tula tree was believed by the Tula people to contain some medicinal values like reducing high blood pressure and improving sexual appetite and performance for men and women. But the remarkable characteristic of this tree is that, when it is planted elsewhere, it will not bear fruits.
In early times, the fruit was used medicinally and was highly appreciated among the locals for its health-giving properties. Tula has been used as a cure for everything from headaches to sexual performance and many other ailments.
Even though it was discovered that the fruit has medicinal value, this fact did not become greatly known until recently.
