In cooking, green nettle leaves are mostly used in soups, broths, and stews. They can be added to salads after being blanched or cooked, which softens their flavor and texture. They are also used to make infusions or herbal teas, which are popular for their unique flavor and refreshing qualities. In some regions, green nettle leaves are used in baking to make bread or as an ingredient in pies and pastries. Interestingly, green nettle leaves grow well in moist soils and can be easily cultivated in home gardens or herb beds.
