Kolanut (Bissy)

Recently, I visited Jamaica and one of my happy childhood memories came flooding back when I saw a kolanut tree (bissy-tree). I hadn't seen one in many years. I remembered my grandfather (God bless his soul) religiously planted and drank his own coffee and bissy-tea (Kolanut). These were usually accompanied by coconut milk - so divine. 

Also, bissy was used as medicinal purposes too. When someone was thought to be poisoned they were given this drink. The freshly grated bissy was also used on cuts and bruises. 

Please share with us some other benefits of Kolanut. Was it called another name in your area?
