Nettle (Urtica dioica)

Nettle is a perennial herb that has been used medicinally since ancient times. Found frequently in populated areas throughout Finland, it is one of the nutritionally powerful wild plants in Finland. Shoots and young leaves of nettle are gathered in the spring, before flowering. In autumn, intact leaves, seeds and roots are gathered and used to give recognizable taste to food.
