This Indiana Stinging Nettle is foraged on several wooded areas in central Indian far away from any crop fields, roads, or walkways to ensure that they have not come into contact with any herbicides, insecticides, etc. Only the top few sets of leaves are harvested off each plant to ensure that the colony will continue to prosper.
The leaves are dried whole in small batches, then hand-crumbled (after they are washed of course!) into air-tight jars and stored in a cool, dark place until it is packaged for shipment.
