ARIFOGLU Nettle Herb(Isirgan Otu) 50g

Stinging nettle, whose Latin name means 'Urtica' to burn, is from the stinging family. Its homeland is the Mediterranean. It likes temperate climates. It grows easily in almost every region of our country. It is a herbaceous plant that blooms from June to September. One of the most distinctive features of stinging nettle is that the fine hairs on its leaves irritate the skin when it comes into contact with the skin. Therefore, it is not recommended to touch the leaves by hand. Despite this, stinging nettle has gained considerable popularity among various peoples and cultures for centuries due to its health benefits. It is also possible to cook delicious dishes from nettle. Nettle salad with yogurt, which has an important place in Aegean cuisine, is prepared. In some cultures, nettle pastry is cooked just like spinach pie. Its spinach-like leaves are perfect for infusing new flavors with olive oil.
