Nettle Leaf

Nettle is an annual herb that is distantly related to the rose. The herb has a long and varied history of use. For instance, it is one of the ingredients in the old English formula for Nine Herbs Charm, the 10th century answer to venomous snakebite. It has also been a food crop for centuries, and is still consumed as a steamed or puréed vegetable. Powdered dried nettle leaf adds a spinach-like flavor to foods, such as stews, soups, and egg, cheese and rice dishes. a.quick look information at a glance approximate cups to one pound 5 origin eastern europe plant part used leaf processing powder b.buying & keeping general guidelines and tips storage tips Keep nettle leaf powder in a sealed container away from direct sunlight and humidity. appearance & aroma Fine powder with a fresh, green scent. c.uses try something new cosmetic Use urtica dioica powder in all kinds of cosmetics, from soaps to salves and lotions. culinary Sprinkle into soups, casserol
