NETTLE

The most well-known stinging plant, it is an ingredient in natural cooking and can be used for risottos, omelettes and fillings. Nettle is often called a ‘bad herb’ because of the painful reaction caused by the contact with its leaves.

Nevertheless, nettle is even better known for its medicinal powers. Each part of this herb contains large amounts of vitamins and minerals. This is why it is often used for infusions, decoctions and herbal teas.
