About this Herbal:
Thankfully, in addition to its sting, nettle (Latin: U. dioica) was also imbued by the creator with a host of nutrients. Said to be a good source of Vitamins A, B1, B2, C and K, nettle also contains copper, manganese and calcium, and is said to have one of the highest chlorophyll contents of just about all plants. (It is also said to have more Vitamin C and calcium than spinach.)
Nettle also happens to make an excellent addition to herb and tea blends, imparting a neutral herbaceous character. It also makes an excellent tisane on its own, when brewed with a few mint leaves and a dollop of honey.
