Nettle leaf, from the Urtica dioica plant, is a versatile botanical ingredient known for its robust, earthy flavour and deep green colour. Once dried, nettle leaves lose their sting and can be safely used in a variety of culinary applications, making them a popular choice for creative cooks.
Nettle leaf is commonly enjoyed as a herbal tea, either on its own or blended with other botanicals like rooibos, peppermint, or lemongrass. It can also be added to soups, stews, and sauces, or blended into homemade pesto and savoury pies, much like you would use greens such as kale or spinach. For best results, steep dried nettle leaves briefly to avoid bitterness, and consider pairing with a touch of honey or lemon for added flavour.
With a long history in traditional European and global cuisine, nettle leaf offers a unique way to explore plant-based recipes and bring a subtle, earthy note to both hot and cold dishes. Its versatility and distinctive taste make it a valued addition to any pantry.
