The season for nettle! Nearly all parts of the spring nettle plant are edible including the young shoot (less than 18 inches), the leaf and tender stem, the flowers, and the seed (in small amounts). The leaf has a deep green “meaty” flavor and can be used in a variety of culinary dishes including soups, stews, omelets, frittatas, quiches, and casseroles. Once the stem grows taller than 18 inches it can be used in tonics and beverages such as tea. Nettle is rich in calcium, magnesium, and iron.

A favorite recipe of ours?

NETTLE SOUP:

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion chopped
½ cup uncooked rice (wild rice is great but any rice will do)
Several large handfuls stinging nettle tops
3-4 cloves chopped garlic
8 cups chicken (or vegetable) broth
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Mixed vegetables, or corn or whatever veggie you like that day
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
Potatoes and/or leeks can also be added

Directions: Carefully pick nettles – gloves are recommended. Take only the top 4-6 inches of new unblemished spring plants that are less than 18 inches tall. Remove the leaves. You may need to rinse and pat them dry.
Start cooking your rice. In a separate large soup pan melt the butter, add the onion and garlic and simmer until translucent. Add the broth and onion and garlic mixture and nettles leaves in the soup pan and bring to a full boil. Simmer for about 20 minutes. At this point we use an immersion blender and blend until smooth.
Add the vegetables, rice and salt and pepper (and any other herbs you like) and simmer a few more minutes.

Enjoy this recipe (and so many more on the blog)!

You might benefit from a Spring cleanse if you…

• Suffer from frequent anxiety, stress or overwhelm.

• Frequently feel foggy or lethargic.

• Struggle with any digestive issues.

• Feel scattered, spacey, lack focus or ungrounded.

As the seasons are transitioning, we might notice we are feeling unbalanced… this can feel like heaviness, anxiety, low energy, digestion that is off or overall mood that doesn’t feel good.

Banyan offers a comprehensive dosha quiz that will indicate your primary dosha AND how you may be unbalanced currently. Knowing how and where you have imbalance will guide how to adjust your diet, activities and daily routine to restore balance.

After this quiz, what dosha are you primarily? I’m primarily a Vata, followed by Pitta and a little Kapha. But, currently, I’m experiencing imbalance within Kapha, so this is guiding me on what to adjust in my diet and routine.

Kapha can be excessively heavy, dull, and stable, and can cause a great deal of inertia in the system, so adapting your lifestyle to balance these tendencies can be truly transformative. Favor experiences that are mentally and physically heating, stimulating, mobilizing, and adequately challenging.
