Couleurs de Plantes Tara
Couleurs de Plantes Tara is a coloring substance that was already known by pre-Columbian civilizations. The first Spanish missionaries quote the black ink named nacazcolotl. Tara pods have been used extensively for leather tanning and black ink manufacturing. It was a species widely exported to Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries. The pods are very rich in hydrolysable tannins (gallic and ellagic). The pods are cropped in Central America, dried and crushed.
