Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is a perennial herb known for its distinctive sting caused by tiny hairs on its leaves and stems. This hardy plant thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soil and can reach heights of 3-7 feet. Despite its sting, nettle is valued for its medicinal and culinary uses. Rich in vitamins A, C, K, and minerals like iron and calcium, it is often used in teas, soups, and herbal remedies. Harvesting requires gloves to avoid irritation. Nettle supports biodiversity, serving as a habitat for butterflies and other insects, and its fibers can be used to make textiles.
