General Uses Top

Suggest a correction!

**Industrial and craft applications:**
Leaf tissue yields a yellow dye used for wool and silk. The dye's color and stability are attributed to flavonoid compounds, notably rutin.

**Colorants and tanning:**
Leaves contain tannins with documented use in leather tanning.

**Fragrance and cosmetics:**
Seeds contain rutin, which has been investigated as a cosmetic antioxidant ingredient.

**Food and beverages (non-medicinal):**
Seeds are processed into flour and groats, used in traditional flatbreads (e.g., lucha) and other baked goods. Seed starch is extracted for potential food applications.

**Properties relevant to use:**
High rutin content in leaves facilitates dye formation and contributes to tanning properties. Starch extracted from seeds exhibits characteristics suitable for food processing.

**Standards and regulation:**
Processing into food requires adherence to national food safety regulations for novel or gluten-free ingredients.
