Description
Botanical Name: Urtica dioica
Nettle leaf has been gathered for centuries across European food and herbal traditions as a seasonal wild green, valued as an everyday botanical incorporated into simple meals.
Spice Zen’s certified organic Nettle leaf is sourced from organically grown plants and gently dried to preserve its colour, structure and character. When brewed, it produces a clear green infusion with a clean, grassy aroma, mild vegetal sweetness and a smooth, neutral finish.
Nettle leaf is commonly chosen when people prefer lighter foods and non-stimulating drinks. Beyond the teacup, nettle has a long culinary history in soups, broths, stews, grains and pestos, contributing depth, colour and a fresh green character without bitterness.
Flavour & Aroma profile
Clean, grassy and mildly vegetal with soft green sweetness and a smooth, neutral finish.
