Nettle leaves are the leaves of the nettle plant, which is a tall, leafy, flowering plant that grows in many parts of the world. Nettle leaves are a rich source of vitamins and minerals, and have a distinctive, slightly bitter taste.
They are commonly used in salads and soups, and can also be brewed into a tea. Nettle leaves are dark green in color and have a slightly serrated edge, making them easy to identify in the wild. Despite their stinging hairs, nettles are a valuable and versatile plant that has been used for centuries for a variety of purposes.
