#urtica — Public Fediverse posts

The #stingingnettle #Urtica #dioica is widespread in Eurasia and requires #nitrogenrich #soils. It is #habitat for numerous organisms, such as #caterpillars of the #peacockbutterfly. All parts are #edible and rich in #vitamins/#minerals, as well as pharma-effective. In their #review, F. Martz & S. Kankaanpää (2025) summarize knowledge about the #roots, their functioning and #biochemistry.
