Purple Nettle

Did you know?!

Purple Nettle, also known as Henbit is high in iron and vitamin c and k. Can be ate chopped in as a salad green. And brewed as a tea with chamomile and honey too. It also makes a nice green addition to your seasonings in stew or soup.

Very healthy wildflower for animals, bees, and humans with lymphatic draining and immune boosting properties. Used as a tea, it’s great for allergies.

So let it grow in the yard, let the chickens eat it, and even save some and use it urself. #purplenettle #homesteading #trysomethingnew #backyard

Purple Nettle, or Henbit, is not just a vibrant addition to your garden; it’s a powerhouse of nutrients. Packed with iron, vitamin C, and vitamin K, this wildflower is perfect for enhancing salads, soups, and teas. Its immune-boosting and lymphatic-draining properties make it particularly beneficial for those suffering from allergies. As a culinary ingredient, Purple Nettle can be used creatively in various dishes. Try using it in pesto, smoothies, or as a garnish. When brewed as a tea, it pairs well with chamomile and honey for a soothing drink. Not only is it a healthy choice for humans, but it also serves as an excellent forage for chickens and supports bee populations, making it a favorite among homesteaders and gardeners alike. Embrace this eco-friendly plant and let it flourish in your backyard.
