Nettles?

[Julianne Alexander Malcolm]

Any suggestions on where to purchase them this time of year? And in what capacity, dried, tincture, etc. I live in MN. Thanks!

I buy them dried in bulk from the health food store, but I see lots of sources for them online, too.

[Autumn Lotus]

Great idea, Sarah, I will check my local health food stores. 

 

Any other sources?  Please share!  I'm interested in getting nettles and I'd like to get them from the most nutrient dense source, other than growing my own or from foraging :-)

I buy mine from Mountain Rose Herbs.   I like their company and products and they have a great price.

I second Mountain Rose Herb, I get all my herbs from them, great quality, I have never been disappointed with them.

I live in the desert and a friend of mine here can grow them very nicely.  Seed might be good to start this time of year inside if you want that, but otherwise I highly suggest buying dried nettle by the pound from Frontier.

I have a small group here that buys from the wholesale with me.  

Its much cheaper and if you make an order of $250 or more then they give free shipping, so having a group is helpful.  To start the wholesale you have to pay $10 to begin.  BUT!  The savings is so worth it.  Also, the regular ordering through Frontier is good too if you don't have the wholesale opportunity.

Great ideas everyone!  Thank you!
