INFORMATION:
According to an ancient Cree legend, stinging nettle (known in Cree language as Masan) didn't always sting. The story goes:
Masan [stinging nettle] was once golden with shimmering leaves and a bright aura. The human beings did not pay their respect to this plant medicine, taking it for granted, passing it by without offering tobacco. In time it turned color to blend in with the other plants and grew stinging hairs to catch the human beings by surprise and sting them.
Ouch. Thankfully, in addition to its sting, nettle (Latin: U. dioica) was also imbued by the creator with a host of nutrients. Said to be a good source of Vitamins A, B1, B2, C and K, nettle also contains copper, manganese and calcium, and is said to have one of the highest chlorophyll contents of just about all plants. (It is also said to have more Vitamin C and calcium than spinach.)

Nettle also happens to make an excellent addition to herb and tea blends, imparting a neutral herbaceous character. It also makes an excellent tisane on its own, when brewed with a few mint leaves and a dollop of honey. From the creator to your cup - enjoy.
