A perennial with separate male and female
plants. Nettle (Urtica dioica) grows up to 4 feet tall and has toothed, pointed leaves
that sting when touched. The sting causes a burning sensation. This is because each hair
consists of a sharp, hollow spine that breaks off easily, allowing liquid inside, formic
acid, to be released into the object causing the injury.
In spite of its stinging, Nettles are of considerable usein many ways
including culinary; they contain vitamins A and C, iron and a variety of other minerals.
The young shoots can also be boiled as a vegetable. Nettle fibers can be spun into rope
and made into cloth. Cosmetically, Nettle is a good cleanser, especially for oily skin.
As a tea, Nettle may be taken hot or cold and many prefer it
sweetened and flavored with lemon.
