Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) leaves undergo careful steam processing and controlled drying to preserve active compounds including flavonoids, carotenoids, and essential minerals. This traditional European herb contains high concentrations of iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium, with standardized levels of bioactive polyphenols.
Processing Method
Leaves are harvested before flowering, flash-steamed to deactivate stinging compounds, and dried at precise temperatures below 40°C. This proprietary process preserves heat-sensitive nutrients while ensuring optimal extraction of water-soluble compounds during brewing.
