Often considered a weed, nettle is actually one of nature's most precious and powerful medicinal plants. Pflegerhof Farm's Organic Dried Nettle lives up to this extraordinary plant's reputation. Grown at 800 meters above sea level in Sant'Osvaldo, it enjoys an ideal climate that concentrates its active ingredients. The leaves are harvested by hand with protective gloves when the plant is young and vigorous, then gently dried.
The result is a superior "Farmhouse Quality" product: the leaves maintain a deep, dark green color and release a herbaceous, ferrous, and slightly salty aroma, reminiscent of spinach but with a more wild personality. It's a versatile ingredient that brings the vital energy of the Dolomites to the table, perfect both as a healing infusion and as a nutritional enrichment in the kitchen.

The roots of this plant are deep in tradition

Nettle (Urtica dioica) has been a part of human history for millennia. The Romans used it to "whip" their legs and stimulate circulation during winter campaigns in Northern Europe, while in the Middle Ages it was essential for the production of durable fabrics. In the peasant tradition of South Tyrol, nettle is the queen of simple spring cooking: the first shoots were harvested to make dumplings, risottos, and soups, celebrated as the first fresh "green" after the long winter, capable of "cleansing" the blood and invigorating the body.

Choosing Dried Nettle means taking care of yourself

Nettle is a true natural supplement. It is rich in mineral salts (especially iron, silicon, magnesium, and calcium), vitamins (A, C, K), and chlorophyll. It is renowned for its purifying and diuretic properties, helping the body eliminate toxins and uric acid. It is also a beauty cure-all: it strengthens brittle nails, remineralizes bones, and, when used as a final rinse on hair, it combats hair loss and dandruff, making it shiny and strong.

How to Best Use: Organic Dried Nettle

• REMINERALIZING HERBAL TEA

Prepare an infusion by steeping 1 gram of nettle in 300ml of boiling water for 5 minutes. The flavor is strong and earthy. To balance it and enhance the trace element content, sweeten with a spoonful of Viterbo Acacia Honey 500gThis dark honey, less sweet than the classic wildflower honey, harmonizes perfectly with the “green” notes of nettle.

• TWO-TONE ALPINE VELVETY

Use dried nettle to enrich a vegetable cream. Rehydrate it in broth and add it to some BIODYNAMIC PURPLE SWEET POTATOES Boil and blend. The color contrast between the purple of the potato and the dark green of the nettle will be spectacular, while the sweet flavor of the tuber will mitigate the bitterness of the herb.

• STRENGTHENING HAIR BEAUTY ROUTINE

Prepare a concentrated nettle infusion, let it cool, and use it as a scalp lotion after shampooing. For a shock treatment against hair loss and to purify the scalp, combine this remedy with the use of HERBAL SHOWER SHAMPOO WITH CLAY, remaining faithful to the natural line of Pflegerhof.
