Our organic nettle leaves can be used for a multitude of recipes and for a multitude of health benefits. This is mainly used to make a herbal tea, or tea infusion, but it can be used and consumed in many other ways too.

However, these wonderful leaves are also recommend to possibly help elevate joint and muscle pain, as well as different skin conditions.
Nettle leaf can also be used in pesto, purées and soups, as well as in cheese making. Nettle soup is a very traditional recipe across Scandinavia, Iran, Ireland, and Eastern Europe. With its high iron content this is a fantastic ingredient to bring into your diet, especially if you are vegetarian or vegan (and nettle soup is one way to do it!).
