Nettle Plants
Nettle tea is a tea made from a group of plants called
stinging nettles. The most commonly used species is
Urtica dioica, often called the "Common Nettle". This species is native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia, North America, and northern Africa.
Nettle tea is remarkable in that it is produced from a plant that is covered with hairs that produce a painful sting when touched. The stinging hairs, however, are completely destroyed upon heating. The nettle, protected by its stinging hairs from being eaten by herbivores, is nutrient rich and edible as a cooked vegetable in addition to being used as an herbal tea.
