Secret Nigerian Food

Ok so I lied.
There are still things about Nigeria that are interesting and new and exciting.
Like this:

Licki licki?

It's a seed of some kind. The outside is a thin fuzzy shell that opens to reveal a red powder covered seed. The red powder is tangy and sweet. Kind of like nerds. Remember nerds?
Except it can't be nearly as bad for you since it grows on a freaking tree! Somewhere. . .
A magic tree full of magic.
What is this mysterious seed?
Where does it grow?
How did it come to be?
The only answer given is: Licki Licki
