A TAGUA NUT is a seed that comes from the Tagua palm tree (also called a nut palm) (Phytelephas Aequatorialis) in Ecuador, South America. The pure cellulose, milky substance inside is edible in liquid or semi-liquid (jello-like) form by people and animals. But once it solidifies in the sun for several months, it is then very hard. (takes a hacksaw to cut) and can be hand-made. Each fruit pod, covered in a horned husk, the size of grapefruit or melon, contains 4 or more seeds (or nuts) about the size of a hen's egg. Natives that raise these trees do not cut down the rain forests anymore because these trees are now a source of income. Tagua nuts like other nuts have natural hollow spots and/or natural cracks that form as they harden or dry.
