Stinging Nettles - Natures Super Herb

Join me (Herbal Jedi) in a deep dive into Stinging Nettles and learning how to harvest and use this healing plant as food and medicine. Nettles are known for their stinging hairs that can cause skin irritation, but they are also one of the most important spring greens we can find in the natural world. Once harvested, nettles can be cooked or steamed to remove the sting and added to soups, teas, pesto, or as a substitute for spinach in recipes. The health benefits of consuming nettles are numerous as they are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. Let us know in the comments if this is a plant you have connected with, and how you like to work with stinging nettles.
