These nuts are the product of a palm tree (Phylelephas Equatorialis) that grows as high as a four-story building and is a “green” or renewable resource native to Panama, Peru, Ecuador and Columbia. The pod in which the nuts slowly grow to the size of a hen’s egg is called a cazeba. When it first falls from the tree, the nuts have a sweetish, milky center and are sold in markets as a kind of snack food but, after several weeks, they harden and develop a faint amber hue that is very similar to an elephant’s tusk. Because of this distinctive color and its density, the Tagua Nut is sometimes referred to as “vegetable ivory” and may even be sold as ivory by unethical dealers. It is for this reason that carvers might occasionally leave a bit of identifying shell on their finished work.
