Nettle, as we know, is a spontaneous weed that, despite the stinging hairs on its leaves and stems, hides a treasure trove of active ingredients used for both culinary and medicinal purposes (in the past it was also used in textiles). In the field of medicinal preparations, it is indicated for cases of iron deficiency, as a digestive aid, as a vasoconstrictor, and much more. Since we are not on a medical site but on a cooking blog, we will focus on the use of nettle exclusively in the culinary field and, specifically, as an infusion, although it can be used to flavor and make risottos, soups, stews, pesto, and so on.
