Botanical Name: Urtica dioica
Origin: Albania / Croatia / Turkey / Bulgaria
Production: Nettle (aka stinging nettle) is a common botanical, native to Africa and western Asia. It has since become naturalized across the globe and can be found wild in many parts of the world. It grows in temperate climates, preferring shady regions with moist soil. Stinging hairs cover the live plant, helping to protect it from predation. When touched, the hairs cause stinging welts due to the content of formic acid. While the stings can be painful, they don't last long and rarely cause serious harm.
After being picked, the acid deteriorates quickly and the stinging hairs begin losing potency within minutes. The harvested leaves are a favorite source of medicine and have also been used for centuries for food and fabric. The healing powers of nettle are well steeped in the folklore and traditions of various cultures.
Qualities: Nettle is considered a very nourishing herb, healing both internally and externally, supportive of women's health and fertility, naturally detoxifying, and much, much more. The leaves offer a long list of essential minerals including iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium and many other nutritive components including formic acid, histamine, serotonin, choline, minerals, chlorophyll, amino acids, lecithin, carotenoids, flavonoids, sterols, tannins, and vitamins.
Common use: The leaves, commonly eaten steamed, steeped as a tea, takes as an extract, or encapsulated.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place in an airtight container.

CanadaOrganic dried nettles
Great product at a better price than I’ve found elsewhere. Best of course is to be able to pick nettles fresh in early spring, if you can find a patch that is pesticide free and big enough to harvest the top few leaves only, taking only 1 in every 3-4 plant tops.. Fresh these are tasty to steam alone or use in any way you’d use fresh spinach..I use dried nettles in an infusion, pour boiling water over about 2/3 cup dried nettles in a 2 litre jar or thereabouts, let steep for 4 hours and strain off the liquid a cup or so at a time to enjoy. The infusion Keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days. I find it helpful for arthritis like pain and discomfort, to ease hot flashes, as a generally wonderful tonic for women and women’s bodies, and as a nourishing and cleansing drink. I think I got the infusion directions from Susan **** a few years ago, she is articulate about nettle and other herbs for women. Namaste!

Desiree L. CanadaToo many stems
there are more stems than previous product, and the colour is overall less green and vibrant. We much prefer the previous nettle product.
