One of its characteristics is that it is rich in different compounds, such as chlorophyll, carotenes, histamine or organic acids. In addition, it contains flavonoids, which gives it antioxidant power. It is rich in minerals such as iron, sulfur or potassium and in vitamins A, B2, K1 and folic acid.
The optimal time to collect the nettle is from summer, when the plant presents yellow flowers. In fact, its flowering time is in June. It is advisable to take the whole plant, although normally only the leaves are used, and it can be used fresh or dried.
