SELECTING
Choose nettles powder that is vibrant green, finely ground, and free from stems or dust. Organic and wild-harvested sources preserve maximum minerals, flavor, and vibrational integrity. Avoid faded or brown powders, which indicate oxidation and nutrient loss.

HOW TO USE
Stir into smoothies, elixirs, teas, soups, sauces, or plant-based doughs for a mineral-rich, earthy lift. Combine with lemon, apple, citrus, or warming spices like ginger and turmeric to enhance brightness. Works well in vegan breads, crackers, and green sauces.

STORING
Store in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Refrigeration extends freshness and preserves minerals and color.

SUBSTITUTIONS
Spinach powder, kale powder, moringa powder, or wheatgrass powder depending on desired green, mineral, and earthy notes.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, vitamins A, C, and K, and antioxidants. Supports detoxification, circulation, and immune health. Energetically, nettles powder grounds, strengthens, and restores vitality while promoting resilience and balance.

CONCERNS
Use in moderation for those sensitive to oxalates. Ensure the powder is fully dried and free from raw stinging leaves.

HISTORY
Nettles have been used for centuries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas as food, medicine, and fiber. Once harvested and carefully dried, they became a potent source of minerals and energy, celebrated for their ability to nourish, restore, and invigorate the body.
