Recipe Details
Ingredients
balādhur sap
Evidence
"anacardium is known as ‘marking nut’ because its sap is used to stain linens and paper"
Remarks
The sap of the balādhur nut was utilized as a staining agent for paper surfaces in the medieval period (p. 45). This application is distinct from its use as a concentrated ink for writing or tattooing, suggesting its use in preparing or marking the paper substrate itself (p. 45).
