I love to take advantage of what nature offers us, not forgetting that nettles have multiple health benefits! So I set off with my bucket and scissors, dressed in good gardening gloves. I cut the nettles, without flowers, and place them in my bucket. Once at my well-cleaned sink, I place all the cut leaves from the stems and rinse them thoroughly, still wearing my gloves, but this time using dishwashing gloves!

To conclude, nettle and its multiple benefits: Nettle is said to be known for its diuretic action and relief from arthritis and rheumatism. The leaves of nettle contain: proteins; flavonoids; minerals such as iron with a content of 41 mg/100 g, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and silicon; vitamins A and C; phenolic acids, including caffeic acid, caffeoyl malic acid, and chlorogenic acid; scopoletin, sitosterol, as well as glycoproteins, lipids, sugars, and free amino acids. Although studies are limited, the leaves of nettle are believed to have depurative, anti-rheumatic, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-anemic, hepatoprotective, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, cardiovascular protective, and immunostimulant properties.
