Actually, I believe it was. There is a reference to "ynde wawdeas" in
_Curye on Inglisch_ that when it is mixed with saffron and egg white it
will produce green; the more saffron, the lighter the green) My guess
is that this is "indigo wode." If memory serves (I'm not runnig off to
the book!) it was used to color a boiled sugar syrup for making "sugar
plate" or else for coloring sugar candy. I can provide the specific
recipe number if anyone really wants it.
