The use of indigo, which is a dye that can come from at least 5 different plants, was first used in the 7th century, BC. The plants from which indigo dye came were most likely weeds.

No one knows who may have started raising plants containing indigo, as it was so long ago.

Today, man-made indigo dye (not from plants) is the color used in blue jeans.
