The kigelia tree is more commonly known as sausage tree, referring to the sausage-like fruit it bears. The fruit is heavy and wood-like and difficult to open without a knife. In its raw state it is poisonous. In African folk medicine it is first dried, roasted or fermented before being consumed to cure a variety of ailments, such as rheumatism or snake bites.
The tree grows up to 65 feet (20 m) tall and its bark is grey and peeling on older trees. Its wood is a pale brown or yellow. The tree is interesting to look at because of its unusual looking fruit, however, it is not a good idea to have a picnic in a sausage tree's shade as the falling fruit can cause serious injury.
In Central Kenya, especially among the Agikuyu and the Akamba, the dried fruits are used to make an alcoholic beverage (muratina in Kikuyu, kaluvu in Kamba), which is a core component in cultural events in Central Kenya. The fruit is harvested then split into two along the grain, then dried in the sun. The dried fruit is then treated with bee pollen and honey. The treated fruit (miatine) is then used in fermentation process in making of sweet beer.
