Our Stinging Nettle Leaf is a high-quality organic product with a faint, yet herbaceous aroma. Its flavor is pleasant and herbaceous, with a slightly bitter, slightly salty taste. Nettle is used in food, traditional remedies, as a fiber source, a dye plant and a rejuvenating spring tonic. Our bulk stinging nettle leaf is kosher certified and non-irradiated. Stinging nettle is perennial herb originating in Eurasia, but now naturalized over much of the world. Its many documented uses, from as far back as the Bronze Age, led to its seed being carried to numerous regions by settlers, where the plant soon escaped cultivation. The entirety of the plant is valuable--leaves, seeds and roots.
