Nettle Leaves
The Understated Reality of Commercial Nettle Leaves
Mixing with Inferior Leaves
A common yet concerning practice in the industry is the mixing of high-quality Nettle Leaves with lower-grade or filler leaves. This method, aimed at reducing costs, can significantly dilute the effectiveness and diminish the nutritional value of the product.
Artificial Enhancements
To offset the loss of natural flavor and color during processing, artificial flavor enhancers and colorants are sometimes added. These synthetic additives can alter the natural qualities of Nettle Leaves, leading to a product that far from how nettle leaves are supposed to be.
