Product Details

Approx. 8 + ounces
Once their "stinging" hairs are cooked down, nettles are a an incredibly rich green. Substitute for spinach in your next frittata or pasta dish. Nettles also give a vegetarian soup stock a robust, nutty flavor. 

Caution: Nettles have stinging hairs that release histamine into skin it comes in contact with, causing a stinging sensation. Wear a lightweight pair of gloves when handling.  The stinging hairs are broken down after being cooked for 30 seconds to a minute.

About The Producer

Happy Quail Farm
East Palo Alto
David grew up on a 300-acre vegetable farm in Florida and began farming as a profession shortly after he moved to the Bay Area in 1978. The farm (originally a hobby quail farm) has evolved into an “artisanal, speciality, urban micro-farm.” David has found his niche in specialty peppers and now produces over 30 varieties of sweet and hot peppers. The farm uses eight of their pepper varieties to make paprika by sun drying, dehydrating, and then grinding them in a corn mill.Read more
