Tagua nut
Make a pair of tagua-and-rubber earrings
by Jane Konkel
Tagua
(
tah-gwa
)
nuts grow on palm trees in the
tropical rain forests of South America. After the
seedpods ripen and fall to the ground, harvesters
dry them. The seeds are separated from their
shells, cut into different shapes, and then
polished and dyed. Also called vegetable ivory,
the natural color of tagua is white and resembles
animal ivory. In addition to being a humane ivory
alternative, tagua products provide a sustainable
income for indigenous peoples without harming
trees. See the March 2008 issue for a tagua-and-
rubber necklace.
