Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is edible plant with stinging hairs called trichomes. The stinging hairs are irritating to touch, but relatively harmless. Fortunately, cooking stinging nettle neutralizes the hairs and makes it a lot easier to consume.
Nettle have a taste similar to spinach, but are more nutrient dense. Nettle can be sauteed, added to soups or made into tea. Nettle is a very popular herbal tea and is great for allergies, joint inflammation, blood sugar and much more!
