Nettle (Urtica dioica)

$6/quart

Young Organic Stinging Nettle

A Mars plant best for damp-stagnation conditions.

I LOVE nettle soup, sautéed in olive oil, or steeped overnight in a cold infusion. It’s high in protein (the highest protein content of any plant native to Minnesota!), iron, trace minerals and chlorophyll.

For medicine making, best used fresh in tincture of 75% Alcohol *source: Richo Cech

Handle With Care- fresh plants will sting, so use gloves if you’d like to avoid the light sting.
