So, what is nettle leaves?

Nettle leaves, also known as stinging nettles, are a highly nutritious and versatile food ingredient. These leaves come from the common nettle plant, which grows in temperate regions around the world. While their name might suggest otherwise, nettle leaves are actually quite delicious and can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to teas and smoothies. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, and have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties. Just be sure to handle them with care, as their tiny hairs can cause a stinging sensation if not properly prepared.
