Tagua Nuts As a replacement for animal ivory, vegetable ivory sourced from tagua nuts is an environmentally responsible solution. But what about the demand for elephant ivory? No artificial plastic can take its place; however, vegetable ivory is a very desirable substitute! A single female tagua palm may produce up to 50 pounds of nuts in a year, that's roughly the amount of ivory in an average African elephant tusk. The elephant, however, yields its ivory only once while the palm produces nuts year after year.
