🌿 Who recognises this week's Weed of the Week? 🌿
That's right, it's the Stinging Nettle!
Scientifically known as Urtica dioica, nettles are a great food and medicine. Enjoy nettle tops as a tea, in a smoothie or cooked like spinach, ensuring you harvest them before the plant flowers, and while wearing gloves!
Seeds and roots can also be used medicinally, but like with all medicines, check with an expert before use.
