Nettle leaves (Hojas de ortiga )

$9.00 / libra

Category: Leaves

Nettle (Urtica dioica) leaves taste like a mix between spinach and cucumber, with a fresh, slightly earthy edge, and may be used in the kitchen or steeped for tea. They are great sauteed as a spinach substitute, added to soups and stews, or simmered into a warm infusion. Always cook them before eating, since raw leaves sting to the touch from their tiny hairs, an effect that disappears completely once heated. Store them in the fridge wrapped in a damp cloth or perforated bag and use within the first few days for the best flavor and freshness.
