Stinging Nettle (or common Nettle) is the most widely known and used of nettles. Found around the world, it's originally native to Eurasia and the middle east. Despite the alarming name, stinging-nettle has a long history with so many benefits, including use as a fertilizer, medicinally, and as an edible plant. When cooked, the "sting" is lost and the herb is often categorized as a nutrient-rich "super food".
