Another native superfood is nettle seed, which is full of all the plant’s potential and very easy to gather in season. Best collected when the seeds are still green. There are lots of health benefits to adding these to your diet. Like many of our native plants they are rich in minerals and vitamins but the superpower of the nettle is its ability to reduce seasonal allergies such as hayfever, for arthritis relief and as a stimulant for extra vitality. Honestly, the list of benefits is long and I encourage you to do your own research to discover just how amazing this plant is, and it is everywhere!
The challenge I have had was with identifying which is the female plant for the seeds which can be confusing. I have taken pictures to show the difference between the male and female plants
