The plant of stinging nettle has been used in herbal medicine from ancient times. Why? Since it contains a lot of vitamins and nutrients such as vitamins A, C and K, as well as several B vitamins; minerals: Calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and sodium and fats: Linoleic acid, linolenic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid.
Nettle leaves can be either cooked or eaten raw as a nutritious sauce of vitamins. Also, nettles are often used in soup or as a steamed or wilted vegetable. Since it has a similar flavor and texture, cooked nettle can be used as a substitute for spinach.

To avoid itchy taste you can quickly pour boiling water over the nettle.
