Comment:
 The actual nettle is only one of the genera that is carried under the family name "nettle plant". About 45 species of this genus can be found in Europe. Since the habitat, soil quality and type of nettle are very important for growth, the different shrubs reach sizes of 10 to 250 centimeters. Its small and often unnoticed flowers are mostly pale white, sometimes light purple. Humans enjoy the rather young shoots and, depending on their age and freshness, use them for salad, spinach or even delicious cheese. An infused nettle tea can be described as typically herbaceous with a light spinach note.
