The indigo plant is cultivated for its leaves, which contain indican, a glycoside that is the precursor to indigo. The leaves are harvested when they are fully grown, and they are then sun-dried or artificially dried. The dried leaves are then ground into a fine powder, which is then sieved to remove any impurities. The resulting indigo powder is then used as a pigment for making various shades of indigo in paint, dyes, and cosmetics. Indigo powder is also used as a mordant or fixative in dyeing and printing textiles and other materials.
