This is a super nutritious SPRING pesto!
This is the season for collecting nettles!
Nettles are incredibly high in minerals-- iron, calcium and a plethora of vitamins amongst too many other phytonutrients to name. Trust me- working around the stingy hairs is worth it.
Nettles are renowned for this season in particular because of their astringent, expectorant, tonic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic properties . All these a powerful elements make it an ally for supporting cleansing the liver and kidneys, as an adjuvant in treating allergies and anemia or simply boosting up your mineral and vitamin intake in a delicious meal. Use as you would traditional basil pesto- on pasta, polenta, as a spread for crackers, sandwiches, wraps, etc etc. a multitude of ways to "get your greens" with this concentrated savoury goodness!
