A signal of Spring that we absolutely love is stinging nettles. They are a miracle to behold – these hearty weeds are a powerhouse of nutrition for good health and vitality. Nettles have been used medicinally for centuries and grow everywhere in cooler climates like Oregon, Washington and the UK – they were a constant sight for Lizzie growing up in urban inner city London, proof that they’re sturdy little fellers. We’ll take care of the sting by first submerging these jagged leaves in hot water for a minute, eradicating any chance of being nipped. This pesto will flood your body with vitamins and minerals and we can almost guarantee that through eating this you’ll feel a transfusion of sustenance. We’ll be harvesting the nettles from the Eco Institute in Chapel Hill and from our friend Francisco Plaza’s land in Hillsborough. You can add to pasta with a touch of grated parmesan, use it as a base to pizza or enjoy with the soup or broccoli this week. Be prepared to feel amazing.
