Nettles are high in protein, vitamin C and A, and lots of minerals like zinc and iron. Once cooked the spiny spikes of the plant that make it sting the skin go away, so no need to worry about consuming it and getting stung. Herbalists use all parts of the plant from roots to leaves, stems and seeds. Stinging nettle has also been used for organic pest management and to make compost tea and organic fertilizer for vegetables, and as a feed for animals. Urtication, the practice of intentionally stinging yourself with nettle leaves, is an ancient treatment for inflammatory conditions.
