Stinging Nettle is a perennial plant known for its serrated leaves and tiny, hair-like structures that can cause a painful sting when touched. It typically grows in temperate regions and can reach heights of up to four feet. The plant is often found in nutrient-rich soils, particularly in disturbed areas like roadsides and forests. Despite its sting, Stinging Nettle has been used for centuries in traditional medicine and cooking. The leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. When cooked or dried, the sting is neutralized, making it safe to consume in soups, teas, and herbal remedies.
