Each package includes-

Stinging Nettle Rhizomes-urtica dioica. You will receive enough planting material to grow nettles for a very long time.

These rhizomes may be replanted anytime soil is not frozen to create your own patch of Stinging Nettle. These rhizomes will create an incredibly large patch on its own without much care since nettles are a true perennial and will come back year after year for you. These Rhizomes are freshly dug as orders are placed.Stinging nettle has many names such as gerrais, isirgan, kazink, nabat al nar, ortiga, grande ortie, ortie, urtiga, chichicastle, brennessel, gross d’ortie, racine d’ortiecan. Once cooked it can substitute for spinach in any cooked recipe (they lose their sting when cooked). You can add them to lasagna, make pasta with them, throw them in soups. My favorite ways to eat nettles are: a simple saute, steamed on top of sauteed veggies or a raw pesto.

Stinging nettle has also been used medicinally for hundreds of years to treat painful muscles and joints, eczema, arthritis, gout, and anemia. Today, many people use it to treat urinary problems during the early stages of an enlarged prostate. The entire plant may be used from root to stem which makes it very versatile and requires little to no maintenance.
