About This Product
Also known as the Common Nettle or Stinging Nettle, Urtica dioica is the most prominent member of the nettle family and can be found in North Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America. Nettles are particularly good for blending with other aromatic or flavorful tisanes such as mint, hibiscus, and licorice root. Though equipped with defensive stinging hairs, the nettle plant has been used for centuries by many traditional cultures as both a nutritional food and a cleansing and restorative herbal tonic.
Nettles grow best in rich soil near streams and moist woodlands. Because of their stinging hairs, they must be harvested using protective gloves. However, when the leaves are dried, they no longer sting.
Ingredients: Nettles.
