Bible | Nettle (1.) Heb. haral, "pricking" or "burning," Prov. 24:30, 31 (R.V. marg., "wild vetches"); Job 30:7; Zeph. 2:9. Many have supposed that some thorny or prickly plant is intended by this word, such as the bramble, the thistle, the wild plum, the cactus or prickly pear, etc. It may probably be a species of mustard, the Sinapis arvensis, which is a pernicious weed abounding in corn-fields. Tristram thinks that this word "designates the prickly acanthus (Acanthus spinosus), a very common and troublesome weed in the plains of Palestine." (2.) Heb. qimmosh, Isa. 34:13; Hos. 9:6; Prov. 24:31 (in both versions, "thorns"). This word has been regarded as denoting thorns, thistles, wild camomile; but probably it is correctly rendered "nettle," the Urtica pilulifera, "a tall and vigorous plant, often 6 feet high, the sting of which is much more severe and irritating than that of our common nettle."

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
There are many unrelated organisms called nettle, such as Hedge nettle (Stachys spp.) and Dead nettle (Lamium spp.) which are in the Lamiaceae or mint family, Devil's Nettle, which is another name for Yarrow, Horse nettle in the Solanaceae (Nightshade family), and even Sea nettle (Chtysaora quinquecirrha) which is a jellyfish.
Most people think of nettles as the plant that stings. This is due to the many hollow hairs filled with, among other things, formic acid.
The young leaves are quite edible and make a very good pot-herb. Cooking disables the stinging hairs, and the leaves are not only tasty, but high in nutrients. A simple recipe is to gather the upper stalks including 3-4 pairs of leaves before the plants flower (using gloves), until one has enough to entirely fill a small sauce pan. Fill the pan with cold water, and then put on a lid and turn the pan on its side until all the water that remains is what is clinging to the leaves. Then put the pan on high heat and steam the leaves, shaking the pan occasionally, until all the leaves are wilted.
Dried nettle leaves can be used a nourishing tea.
Nettle stems contain a bast fiber which has been traditionally used for the same purposes as linen, and is produced by a similar retting process.
