Stinging nettle is rich in vitamins A, C, D, K, as well as B complex vitamins, and it’s also rich in many minerals including iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, iodine, sulfur, silicon and silica. In this post we’ll be focusing on how to harvest and store the leaves. The leaves, stems and roots of the stinging nettle plant all have medicinal value. I have lots of childhood memories of getting stung by stinging nettle – I grew up in Germany and the stuff is seemingly everywhere! Being the adventurous, outdoor-loving child that I was, getting stung was just inevitable.īut in spite of its viciously stinging tendencies, stinging nettle is one of nature’s powerhouse herbs and well worth the effort of harvesting.
