Nettle

The Essentials

A stinging nettle plant standing in a field, pairs of toothed heart-shaped leaves on a hairy square stem with trailing green flower strings
Nettle (gazaneh) is known by its toothed paired leaves and stinging hairs — gloves for picking, harmless once cooked or dried.

One of the most mineral-dense green plants — exceptional iron, calcium, and potassium.

Nettle-root extract has prostate trial data for BPH symptom relief.

Cooking, drying, or pounding completely destroys the sting.

Nettle — گزنه — is one of the most nutrient-dense wild greens you can eat. Persian, European, and Anatolian traditions cook the young spring shoots as food, then dry the summer leaf for tea. It has long been used for blood-building, allergy relief, and joint and urinary support.

Known to botanists as Urtica dioica.
