Nettle
dwarf nettle
An edible plant with stinging hairs, originally from Eurasia. Its flavor is more
or less pungent depending on the variety. The most common are
the stinging nettle (Urtica dioïca), sometimes called "common nettle" or "bull nettle," whose leaves are used by themselves or mixed
with sorrel; and
the dwarf nettle (Urtica urens), sometimes called "small nettle" or "annual nettle," which is especially used in salads.
Buying
Nettle is picked before the stems harden. Gloves can be used, or avoid touching the tips of the leaves.
Serving Ideas
Nettle leaves lose their sting when cooked or dried. Nettle is used in the same way as spinach. It is delicious as a soup, with potato, leek, watercress, cabbage or legumes. It is braised with onion, garlic and nutmeg.
More tender nettle leaves and less pungent varieties can be used raw, finely chopped.
Storing
Nettle is fragile.
In the fridge: place unwashed nettle in a loosely closed or perforated plastic bag.

It is still generally accepted that nettle stings can be cured by the application of a dock leaf, but in the past it seems that the accompanying words were as important a part of the procedure as the physical process: ‘Nettle in—dock out, dock in—nettle out’ (Northumberland, 1851); or ‘Dock, go in, nettle, go out, Dock shall have a white smock, And nettle shall go without’ (Addy, 1895: 92). Even Chaucer knew the charm: as Troilus is protesting that he cannot suddenly stop loving Criseyde, ‘But kanstow playen racket, to and fro, Nettle in, dok out, now this, now that’ (Troilus and Criseyde (c.1374), IV, lines 460-1). Nettles also featured strongly in the calendar customs associated with Royal Oak Day. The traditional punishment for children not wearing an oak leaf on that day was that their legs could be attacked with nettles wielded by other children. The plant also features regularly in folk medicine (see Vickery).

nettles
nettle, common name for the Urticaceae, a family of fibrous herbs, small shrubs, and trees found chiefly in the tropics and subtropics. Several genera of nettles are covered with small stinging hairs that on contact emit an irritant (formic acid) which produces a skin rash sometimes called urticaria (see hives). The tropical American genus Urera is very powerful and sometimes dangerous. Stinging nettles in the United States include species of Urtica, widely distributed, and Laportea canadensis, a characteristic plant of eastern forests. L. gigas, the Australian nettle tree, reaches 90 ft (27.4 m) in height. Various plants of the family supply fiber, e.g., ramie, or China grass (Boehmeria nivea), native to SE Asia. Its valuable fiber is extremely strong, silky, and durable, but very difficult to extract. Because of the high quality of its various products (e.g., fabric, paper, and cordage) it has been cultivated experimentally in the United States and other countries. The young foliage of many temperate nettles supplies edible greens that are cooked like spinach. Various unrelated plants are sometimes also called nettles, e.g., the Old World nettle trees of the elm family and the prickly horse nettle of the nightshade family. The nettle family is classified in the division Magnoliophyta, class Magnoliopsida, order Urticales.

Source: Urtica dioica L. (Family Urticaceae).
Common/vernacular names: Stinging nettle.
Herbaceous perennial up to 30–150 cm, monoecious or dioecious, stems four angled; leaves and stems with stinging hairs; leaves opposite, ovate to cordate oblong–lanceolate, serrate; flowers green, in axillary panicles; June to September; found in waste places, moist thickets, fields, pastures; most of North America and Europe.
American material is designated U. dioica subsp. gracilis (Ait.) Seland., consisting of six varieties. The American material differs from the typical European Urtica dioica subsp. dioica primarily in that it has male and female flowers on the same plant. Some botanists treat the varieties of U. dioica subsp. gracilis as separate species.
The parts used are the herb, leaves, and root.

Nettles constitute between 24 and 39 species of flowering plants of the genus Urtica in the family Urticaceae, with a cosmopolitan though mainly temperate distribution. They are mostly herbaceous perennial plants, but some are annual and a few are shrubby. Most of the species have stinging hairs on the stems and leaves.
The most prominent member of the genus is the stinging nettle, Urtica dioica, native to Europe, Africa, Asia, and North America. The genus also contains a number of other species with similar properties, listed below. However, a large number of species included within this genus in the older literature are now recognized as synonyms of Urtica dioica. Some of these taxa are still recognized as subspecies.
Urtica nettles are food for the caterpillars of numerous Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), such as the tortrix moth Syricoris lacunana and several Nymphalidae.

Vegetative characteristics
Nettle species grow as annuals or perennial herbaceous plants, rarely shrubs. They can reach, depending on the type, location and nutrient status, a height of 10–300 cm. The perennial species have underground rhizomes. The green parts have stinging hairs. Their often quadrangular stems are unbranched or branched, erect, ascending or spreading.
Most leaves and stalks are arranged across opposite sides of the stem . The leaf blades are elliptic, lanceolate, ovate or circular. The leaf blades usually have three to five, rarely up to seven veins. The leaf margin is usually serrate to more or less coarsely toothed. The often-lasting bracts are free or fused to each other. The Cystoliths are extended to more or less rounded.
Toxicity
Most of the species listed below share the property of having stinging hairs, and might be expected to have similar medicinal uses to the stinging nettle. The stings of Urtica ferox, the ongaonga or tree nettle of New Zealand, have been known to kill horses, dogs and at least one human.[1]
The nature of the toxin secreted by nettles is not settled. The stinging hairs of most nettle species contain formic acid, serotonin and histamine; however recent studies of Urtica thunbergiana implicate oxalic acid and tartaric acid rather than any of those substances, at least in that species.[2]

As its name implies, the false nettle does not sting.
Uses and medical properties of nettles

Much historical evidence of use of nettles in medicine, folk remedies, cooking and fibre production relate to one species - Urtica dioica, but a fair amount also refers to the use of Urtica urens, the small nettle, which is preferred because it has more stinging hairs per leaf area than the more common species.[citation needed] It may be inappropriate and probably inaccurate to assume that all nettles exhibit similar properties in all cases, but where an action can be attributed to principles found in the species, such as histamine, choline, formic acid and silica, a rational basis for their use is still available.[citation needed] However, the fact that a medical action can be attributed to a single constituent does not imply that the entire plant will have the same action. Various types of Nettle have been studied for their effects on prostate hypertrophy, diabetes mellitus, rheumatic disease, hypertension, gastrointestinal symptoms, osteoarthritis, diarrhea, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammation, pain,[3] constipation, gastrointestinal disease, headache, nausea, common cold, arthritis, asthma, bleeding, respiratory tract disease, allergic rhinitis, kidney disease, prostate cancer, skin disease and urinary tract disease.[4][verification needed][unreliable source?] In terms of allergies, nettle contains properties of an antihistamine to be used for treating reactions associated with the respiratory system.[5][unreliable source?] Nettles can also be used to make a tisane known as "nettle tea".
Prehistoric use
Fabric woven of nettle fiber has been found in burial sites dating back to the Bronze Age.[6]
In folklore
Nettles have many folklore traditions associated with them. The folklore mainly relates to the stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), but confusion with the similar non-stinging Lamium was common.
Myths about health and wealth
Nettles in a pocket will keep a person safe from lightning and bestow courage.
Nettles kept in a room will protect anyone inside. (This may have arisen from common knowledge of the tremendous amount of nutrients nettles offer, making them a powerful plant in that sense.)
Arthritic joints were sometimes treated by whipping the joint with a branch of stinging nettles. The theory was that it stimulated the adrenals and thus reduced swelling and pain in the joint. A controlled study in the year 2000 supports the effectiveness of this treatment.[7]
Nettles are reputed to enhance fertility in men, and fever could be dispelled by plucking a nettle up by its roots while reciting the names of the sick man and his family.
Turkey and other poultry (as well as cows and pigs) are said to thrive on nettles, and ground dried nettle in chicken feed will increase egg production.[8]
A distillation of the flowers of the White Archangel, or white dead-nettle (Lamium album) is reputed "to make the heart merry, to make a good colour in the face, and to make the vital spirits more fresh and lively." [9]
In 1926, the Royal Horticultural Society's recommendation for getting rid of nettles was to cut them down three times in three consecutive years, after which they will disappear.
Literature
Asian
Milarepa, the great Tibetan ascetic and saint, was reputed to have survived his decades of solitary meditation by subsisting on nothing but nettles; his hair and skin turned green and he lived to the age of 83. [10]
Caribbean
The Caribbean trickster figure Anansi appears in a story about nettles, in which he has to chop down a huge nettle patch in order to win the hand of the king's daughter.[11]
European
An old Scots rhyme about the nettle:
- "Gin ye be for lang kail coo the nettle, stoo the nettle
- Gin ye be for lang kail coo the nettle early
- Coo it laich, coo it sune, coo it in the month o' June
- Stoo it ere it's in the bloom, coo the nettle early
- Coo it by the auld wa's, coo it where the sun ne'er fa's
- Stoo it when the day daws, coo the nettle early."
- (Old Wives Lore for Gardeners, M & B Boland)
Coo, cow, and stoo are all Scottish for cut back or crop (although, curiously, another meaning of "stoo" is to throb or ache), while "laich" means short or low to the ground.[12] Given the repetition of "early," presumably this is advice to harvest nettles first thing in the morning and to cut them back hard [which seems to contradict the advice of the Royal Horticultural Society].
A well-known English rhyme about the stinging nettle is:
- Tender-handed, stroke a nettle,
- And it stings you for your pains.
- Grasp it like a man of mettle,
- And it soft as silk remains.
In Hans Christian Andersen's fairy-tale "The Wild Swans," the princess had to weave coats of nettles to break the spell on her brothers.
Role in the environment
Thanks to the stinging hairs, nettles are rarely eaten by herbivores, so they provide long-term shelter for insects, such as aphids or caterpillars of many butterflies[13] and moths.[14] The insects, in turn, provide food for small birds, such as tits.[15]
Safety
Though the fresh leaves can cause painful stings and acute urticaria, these are rarely seriously harmful. A possible exception is the Urtica ferox, the ongaonga or tree nettle of New Zealand. Otherwise most species of nettles are extremely safe and some are even eaten as vegetables after being steamed.[16]
Similar stinging plants
Other members of other genera in the Urticaceae, with powerful stings:
- Giant stinging tree (Dendrocnide excelsa)
- Gympie (Dendrocnide moroides)
- Wood Nettle (Laportea canadensis)
- Nettle Tree (Urera baccifera)
- Nilgiri Nettle, Himalayan Giant Nettle (Girardinia diversifolia, synonym: G. leschenaultiana), source of Allo fiber
There are also plants which can produce stinging sensations but which are unrelated to the Urticaceae:[17]
- Dumb cane (Dieffenbachia spp., Araceae)
- Cowhage (Mucuna pruriens, Fabaceae)
- Bull Nettle or Spurge Nettle (Cnidoscolus stimulosus, Euphorbiaceae)
- Ciega-vista (Croton ciliato-glandulosus, Euphorbiaceae)
- Stinging Spurge (Jatropha urens L., Euphorbiaceae)
- Noseburn (Tragia spp., Euphorbiaceae)
Similarly named plants
Plants with common names include the word "nettle" but which do not sting nor are they part of Urticacea':
- Dead-nettle (Lamium spp.) and woundwort or hedge-nettle (Stachys spp.) which are in the Lamiaceae or mint family.
- Devil's nettle, or yarrow (Achillea).
- Carolina horsenettle (Solanum carolinense) in the Solanaceae.
