Woad Powder

Description

Woad Powder

Woad is often used in combination with indigo, to improve the color. The leaves of the woad plant contain the same dye as Indian Indigo (Indigofera tinctoria), although in a weaker concentration. This makes coloring with woad a much more subtle and delicate art.  Woad was used to dye the uniforms of Napoleon’s army.  It takes 1,000kg of woad leaves to produces 2kg of woad powder.

This dye/additive is not intended for human/animal consumption.
