Join me in this late summer moment as we focus on health-boosting NETTLE SEED ID, harvest and use. This fiery, wild edible, scientifically referred to as Urtica dioica, is a perennial of the Urticaceae family. It’s leaf is a delicious wild food and potent herbal medicine—a prime example of where food and medicine meet. However, today we focus on its SEEDS (not leaf). Right now its seeds it can be consumed as a potent tonic food to boost adrenal and kidney health. It is energizing and immunomodulating to be consumed in small amounts. What does boosting adrenal health mean? Generally speaking, it means helping our immune systems respond appropriately to stress. This can mean calming inflammation both in the musculoskeletal system and in the upper respiratory system. It can also mean boosting our energy, and increasing stamina; but of course— not in place of a healthy diet, deep restorative sleep, and appropriate activity. These potent green seeds are eaten in very small amounts. They have a crunchy texture and a subtle flavor that suggests a raw peanut / raw green bean. Dose can vary, I say nibble about ¼ teaspoon; others say 1-3 teaspoons. They can be eaten fresh, or dried, or tinctured for later use. Gather them while they are green and vibrant; not yet browning. This plant does sting, so protect yourself if desired. FYI, the seeds also gently sting my tongue. LOOK FOR nettle in full sun to part shade in moist fertile soil. Often found in meadows, gardens, compost piles, riverbanks, and woodland openings and edges. USDA Hardiness Zones (USDA): 4–8(9) Found throughout the temperate zones of the world. In this lesson we feature the monoecious subspecies Urtica dioica subspecies gracilis native to the USA where male (staminate) and female (carpellate) flowers are on the same plant. Urtica dioica subspecies dioica is a native of Eurasia and is dioecious with male (staminate) flowers and female (carpellate) flowers on different plants. Stinging nettle is a persistent perennial with roots that run about sprouting new plants. And so while it also reproduces by seed, harvesting some should not pose any threat.
