indigo is an organic pigment that can be grown in plants

Varieties range from Indigofera Suffruticosa in Central America, Persicaria Tinctoria in Asia, Isatis Tinctoria throughout Northern Europe and Indigofera Tinctoria primarily in South and Southeast Asia.

Natural indigo is extracted from the leaves of indigofera tinctoria, a short shrub that is a member of the legume family. Indigo is now cultivated world-wide, but is probably native to South Asia (Glowacki et al. 2012:542). It has been the most important source of blue dye for much of recorded history, and there is archaeological evidence that indigo was being used to dye fabric up to 4,000 years ago in India. Natural indigo was a major global commodity in the 18th and 19th centuries, and industries sprang up all across the world. It was one of the major exports of the antebellum U.S. South, especially around low-country South Carolina and Georgia, which have subtropical climates ideal for growing indigo.Διαβάστε περισσότερα -
