Nettle Leaves (Stinging Nettle) - Urtica Dioica

Also known as: Stinging Nettle, Common Nettle, Bichu Buti, Ortiga, Seven-minute Itch.

Scientific name: Urtica dioica (A perennial flowering plant used since the Bronze Age for its nutritional and fibrous properties).

What it’s known for: Being a "nutritional powerhouse." Once dried or cooked, the stinging hairs become harmless, leaving behind a leaf exceptionally rich in iron, silica, magnesium, and calcium.

How to prepare: Steep 1–2 teaspoons of dried leaves in hot water for 10 minutes. The tea has a rich, "green" flavor similar to spinach with a slightly seaweed-like saltiness.

How it’s used: Enjoyed as a revitalizing mineral-rich tea; used as a nourishing hair rinse to support scalp health and shine; or added to soups and stews for an extra boost of plant-based minerals.

Quality profile: 100% Pure, dried cut-leaf grade. Our Nettle leaves are harvested before the plant flowers—when nutrient density is at its peak—and carefully dried to maintain their deep forest-green color.
