Frontier Co-op Organic Cut and Sifted Stinging Nettle Leaf 0.99oz

If you buy nettle tea in a box, you’ll end up spending about $91 for a pound. This nettle is organic, comes from a trustworthy company, and it’s very tasty. It’s a lot fresher than what I was buying in bulk at sprouts. When I ran out of my loose tea, I would be getting traditional medicinal nettle tea. That’s a great company, but because I have allergies I drink a lot of nettle. I would prefer to get it for this price per pound instead of the $30 per pound I was paying for it in bulk locally. Nettle isn’t just good for allergies; it’s good for pain, it’s good for the digestive system. It’s also good for the genitourinary system in both sexes. It’s easy to look up, it’s an amazing herb.

Nice and strong tea, I think it works really well I will say it is chopped into a very fine powder and sometimes it gets a little clogged in my tea strainer but I really like the flavor and I think it's high-quality product.

Good product. Good price. Very green, clean and made great tea and capsules. Thanks!

This is a wonderful product with so many health benefits. I steep the stinging nettle at night to promote relaxation and reduce inflammation. I also leverage it in tinctures for allergy relief. I love the quality and effectiveness of this product.

I can trust Frontier to deliver quality herbs, and this is no exception One 1 Lb Nettles Leaf, Cut & Sifted, Organic . This is a wonderful value! It costs so much less to buy a pound of this, instead of the tea bags I used to buy. Nettles is reported to be good for many ailments. It was one of the ingredients in the tea blends I used to get as a lung tonic, to treat my asthma, so I don't just rely on inhalers. (I prefer to do all I can to help my body to heal, rather than just mask symptoms with medications.) After taking it as a tonic for months, my asthma is better and also, I feel like it has helped my body in so many other ways, as I am healthier overall. I make a tea with a half cup of nettles and a half cup of pau d'arco, which I put in a pot with a quart and a half of filtered water and boil with the lid on over a low heat for half an hour, and let it steep. This makes a concentrated tea that will be black as coffee. When it has cooled, I strain it into jars and put it in the fridge. I take a half cup a day, warmed in the microwave and mixed with coconut milk and raw honey. Sometimes I mix in a teaspoon of cocoa for fun.) I find it delicious, either way. You can find a lot of information online on the many benefits of drinking nettle tea as a tonic. Here's a bit on the benefits: "Expectorant: This helps cause the expulsion of mucous and breaks up congestion similar to the stimulant actions. (colds, asthma and allergies)" (drdebsherbals.com/herb-of-the-month-nettle/) "If there's one plant to have on hand at all times that provides a cure for arthritis, an herbal treatment for allergies, relieves hair loss, treats Celiac disease, bleeding, bladder infections, skin complaints, neurological disorders and a long list of other conditions -- it's nettle leaf." "a natural cleanse that removes metabolic wastes and is both gentle and stimulating on the lymph system, promoting easy excretion through the kidneys." (naturalnews.com) Here is a bit on what is in nettles that is so helpful: "It contains biologically active compounds that reduce inflammation." (herbwisdom.com) "This tea is made from leaves that are rich in vitamins A, B1, B5, C, D, E and K, iron, potassium, copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium and others. It also contains flavonoids, essential amino acids and proteins." (therighttea.com/nettle-tea.html)

Overall I’m very happy with this nettle leaf. It has a nice fresh herbal scent when you open the package, which tells me it’s good quality and recently packed. The leaves look clean and vibrant, and the product arrived fresh. The only small downside for me is that the cut is a bit finer than I personally prefer. It’s almost a powdery consistency in some parts, rather than larger leaf pieces. That said, it still works really well for brewing tea, especially in a French press where the fine texture isn’t an issue. I like drinking nettle tea for its health benefits since it’s naturally rich in vitamins and minerals like iron and magnesium, and many people use it for overall wellness and seasonal allergy support. You also get a pretty good quantity for the price, so it definitely feels like good value for money. Overall a solid product and I would purchase it again.

I learned about all the amazing health, healing and nutritional benefits of drinking organic nourishing herbal infusions on a daily basis on herbmentor.com. Nettle Leaf is among the heavy hitters and some classify Nettle leaf as a superfood. The quality of the nettle leaf I received from Frontier Natural Products was amazing. I agree with other reviewers (who helped me make the decision to buy this product), that the taste and freshness stand far above the rest. I love nettle leaf, but love it even more now. Here's a recipe if you would like to try to make your own nourishing herbal infusion with this nettle leaf. Start by measuring out 32 ounces of water and bringing it to a full boil. while it's heating, measure out 1 ounce (by weight) of organic nettle leaves (dried cut and sifted) and place it inside a quart-sized mason jar (i used an old glass spaghetti sauce jar that is 36 ounces and it works fine). Once the water has come to a full boil, place a metal butter knife into mason jar (to prevent cracking) and pour the water while it is still boiling carefully into the mason jar. stir in the nettle to make sure it all has been absorbed the water (some will raise to top), seal it tightly right away (be quick, because it's hot) and let it seep for a minimum of 4 hours. I let mine seep for 8 hours +. Next, you will need another empty quart sized mason jar or similar-sized glass jar (to strain the nettle out of your infusion and into a new jar), use a mesh strainer to strain out the nettle leaf into the other jar. You may want to lightly squeeze out the remaining moisture from nettle leaf inside the strainer. Once you are done straining, you can drink it right away, but make sure to keep it refrigerated as soon as you strain it. Also, the used nettle leaf is a great addition to your garden soil or potted plants, so don't throw it in the trash! Make sure to drink it within 36 hours, it is best to drink it throughout the day (within 8 hours), refridgerated. I typically make my herbal infusions at night, before bed and drink first thing in the morning and throughout the day. I prefer the taste of nettle herbal infusions cold. it's my favorite herbal infusion so far. Thank you, Frontier - I will be ordering from you again!!! ;o)

Love it as a tea!
