nettle
nutrient bomb and bacteria brake
Nettles are generally considered to be a nuisance weed. They leave itchy pustules on the skin when they come into contact with it and are particularly annoying when you are out walking in nature wearing shorts. Nevertheless, the nettle is a very useful plant that is often used in cooking, natural medicine and in the garden.The nettle is a real cosmopolitan because it is found all over the world. It shows where the soil is particularly rich in nitrogen on every continent. This is why it is considered an indicator plant that can be used to draw conclusions about soil conditions.
The nettle genus includes around 45 different species and is used in many different ways around the world. For example, it is possible to produce a type of “linen” from its fibers, just like from flax.
Here, the nettle season begins around April
The nettle leaves contain an active ingredient that inhibits the growth of bacteria. In the past, people would add a handful of nettle leaves to freshly milked milk to make it last longer. Some foods, such as fresh meat or fish, were also wrapped in nettle leaves to extend their shelf life.The garden weed contains more vitamin C than citrus fruits and is also rich in minerals such as iron, potassium and magnesium and secondary plant substances such as flavonoids. The flavonoids, together with the potassium, ensure the dehydrating effect of the leaves. Surprisingly, nettles are also rich in protein, so the leaves do have added value and are worth trying in the kitchen.100 g of fresh nettle leaves contain a similar amount of protein as the same amount of fresh legumes,namely up to 8 g. The seeds are also edible and are roasted and nibbled.
