Nettle Leaves | Wildcrafted & Shade-Dried

The stinging leaves of Urtica dioica, known as 'ortiga' or 'chichicaste,' defend themselves with formic acid-tipped trichomes that paradoxically deliver traditional healing through initial discomfort. Wild-harvested with protective knowledge from Honduras' highland meadows and forest clearings, these leaves carry European and adapted Central American wisdom about joint support and mineral nourishment. Revered for their high silica, iron, and vitamin content, they are shade-dried to neutralize the sting while preserving nutritional potency. Offered chopped, free from the fresh plant's defensive chemistry but rich in ancestral benefits.
