The stinging nettle really cleans up after winter. With its lively nature, it also ensures that the spring grouch in you is driven away. You'll burn for its refreshing and tangy flavour. Did you know that stinging nettle is also called thunder nettle? The herb dedicated to Thor, the god of thunder, was used to "smoke away" thunderstorms. It is a popular all-rounder that is used as a tea, in spring dishes and even as a plant fertiliser.
