How to Use Nettle
Despite its sting when raw, nettle is incredibly versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways once it is cooked, which removes the sting:
Nettle Tea:
Simply steep dried nettle leaves in boiling water for 5-10 minutes to make a refreshing and healthful tea. This can be enjoyed daily to reap the health benefits.
Cooked Nettle:
Nettle can be used similarly to spinach. Boil the leaves for a few minutes, and then add them to soups, stews, or sauté them as a side dish. Cooking them not only removes the sting but also makes them tender and more palatable.
Nettle Supplements:
If handling fresh nettle isn’t your preference, nettle is also available in capsule or powder form as a dietary supplement.
Safety First
Before starting any new dietary supplement, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if you have existing health conditions or take other medications
