In love with this product
I was born with kidney issues and I never heard anything about Nettle seeds. I was scrolling on IG and battling a nasty UTI, first one ever, and it put a strain on my kidneys. I was admitted to the hospital and stent was placed, but it really didn’t help much with alleviating my issues. Decided to try the seeds and it changed my life. My urine started filtering like a champ. I was shocked, but happily surprised that it actually worked. The taste is awful, but I put a teaspoon of the seeds into my yogurt and I don’t taste them at all. I don’t miss a day without my seeds and I am flowing with ease.

Uninformative Directions (I provide better)
Product: Organic Stinging Nettle Seeds (variety: Urtica Dioica)Mfr: Fluxias GmbH, GermanyRating: 4/5 (v.good)This product is a good value, and I like the mylar packaging, and after 2 tries I was finally able to get some going. Germination for nettles is painfully (pun intended) SLOW ... but once going, it grows rapidly. See PICTURES (1st is the seed envelope, 2nd is a half shelf area (18"d x 24w x 14"t) that's all nettles, rooting cuttings, and small planted cuttings ready for further transplanting, and 3rd is some Nettle Tea (16 oz pot, from freshly dried leaves).Minor Nits:1) Weak to moderate germination rate. (-1 star)2) This product came without info on how to plant/sow this, so I had to search the web, and got a lot of conflicting info. Definitely not a seed variety for beginners. Most sources I saw advocated sowing 1/4 to 1/2" deep in rows in potting soil ... I tried it, waited 3 weeks, and got NOTHING. Clearly, I was on my own ... but I did succeed. Read on, regarding how.METHOD:As it turns out, these seeds require TOP SOWING and ample LIGHTING in order to germinate (which takes 2-3 weeks), so ignore anyone advocating covering the seeds with soil, or burying them.Here is what worked for me, for growing indoors: Fill a 1010 nesting slotted mesh shallow germination tray about 3/4 full with indoor seed starting soil, then use a small wooden block to gently level and very lightly compact it. Sprinkle some nettle seeds evenly over the soil (sorry, I dont have an exact doeing density - a light scattering is fine) , then use the block to lightly press all the tiny seeds flush into direct contact with the soil. DO NOT COVER THEM WITH ADDITIONAL SOIL - THEY NEED LIGHT TO GERMINATE. Instead, just mist generously with water, above and below (bottom tray), and apply a vented clear humidity dome. Mist lightly twice daily, and you should see germination in about 10-14 days (21 max). Thin as required to maintain say 1-2" spacing. Remove dome once seedlings exceed 1/2" tall, and let them grow a little and start sending out their runner roots. Once true leaves emerge, growth will greatly accelerate. Once they reach 3 tiers, you can start taking cuttings (easier and less risky than trying to pull out rhizomes) ... take a 4 fl oz votive glass, make an alum foil cap, fill glass 90% fill with water (opt: weak hydroponic solution works too), trim & apply cap, poke hole in center, then take a 2-3 tier cutting (cut just below the tier, then slice the leaves off that lowest tier ... that's the best node for rooting), dip the last 1" of stem (with the denuded node) in rooting compound, and slip the cutting stem first thu the foil cap, all the way to the leaves. The stem should form lots of little white roots from and around the denuded node in about 8-10 days ... once enough emerge, transplant into a pot/container. Since nettles are creepers with rooting stems (similar to tomatoes in that regard), cuttings seem to root pretty reliably, esp at denuded nodes.Bottom line: good product, but you need to know what you're doing in order to suceed.UPDATE (Harvesting, Drying, Making Tea & Cooking): For this strain of nettles (urtica dioica), any leaves will do, either fresh or self-dried. The tiny spines are EVERYWHERE, but ive found only the older stems that have darkened to purple have spines long enough to sting, so you can use bare hands if you're only handling small green leaves and the tender green ends of stems ... for anything else, wear gloves. I'll usually harvest just above the 2nd node from the end of a branch/creeper, and then either air dry on paper towels for 1-2 days, or dehydrate at 120F overnight until full brittle, then compact into a small jar, forming flakes. I brew 1-2 rounded spoons of fluffy flakes in freshly boiled water for 5-10 mins. Resulting color is a light pale green, kinda like light green tea. Flavor is light, reminiscent of chamomile, with hints of lemon and a trace of mint. You can also cook and eat leaves (fresh or dried) just like spinach - cooking at 200F+ breaks down the spines. It works nicely cooked into dishes based on spinach and/or mustard greens.

Low quantity high price
The small amount you get for the price is not worth it, I won't buy this again, I also think this are leaves combined with seeds, this are no pure seeds
