It appears these days that very many people have apparently forgot that hard work is a requisite. Possibly due to the fact they have never done any actual real work themselves, and are unaccustomed to the concept.

    They perfected synthetic dyes in the late 1800's. All natural indigo these days is for people looking for that 'authentic' organic process. So as long as there are people around it should continue to be grown. You can even do it at home with a few square feet of land, or a couple of largish pots if you don't have any land. Great fun.

    ". Agitation of the water ferments the chemical converting the glycoside indican into the blue dye indigotin. " Agitation of the water AERATES the fluid. A E R A T E S. It does not "ferment" it. Fermentation is something entirely different and is what happens in the FIRST tank where the plants are rotting (fermenting) in water. Fermentation is another word for DECOMPOSITION.

    I'm sorry but this comment confused me. I'm not sure what process is going on in this tank, but I make my own wine and I do know that mixing oxygen to a slurry or a must helps yeast grow and kick starts fermentation. Also, rot is different than fermentation. Both fermentation and plant rot are a form of decomposition because they break down molecules into smaller parts, but they have very different results.

I’m aware that this is a very traditional way of processing the plants for the indigo, but I’m sure they could find ways to improve the process, without wrecking it by mechanisation and the like!

They are not exposed to chemicals in any way! As for this being a "dumb" way to get indigo... I don't think these workers have exposure to chemistry sets or labs where they could create synthetic compounds; what they do have is generational wisdom passed down, along with an ability to farm and work hard. It may not be efficient, but it is honest & safe work!

    You think water is not chemical or that blue dye when yo usaid "They are not exposed to chemicals in any way!"? It is, all stuff around us are chemicals water, air, stone only difference between them is their properties and how they are made - synthetic way or nature/organic one. But even if some chemicals are complete natural/organic it can be harmful, for example Potassium cyanide is nature chemical but try eat that and you die in a few seconds, or ricin, its chemical - natural one produced in the seeds of the castor oil plant. So natural or organic does not mean its safe chemical. In orther way you can have complete synthetic chemical that are not poisonous but healthy.

And another question, just for curiosity, can you tell me how many grams of indigo powder can you extract from how many kilograms of plants/leaves? It seems to be a very long and hard process, to extract just few grams of dyeing powder! If you have just one Indigofera Tinctoria plant, how many grams of indigo dyeing powder can you extract, from this only one plant? Less than 1 gram? Please let me know, Anyway thanks for this beautiful video, I really liked to see the traditional extracting process! 🤗
