Nettle Cultivation Practices—From Open Field to Modern Hydroponics: A Case Study of Specialized Metabolites by Nevena Opačić, Sanja Radman, Sanja Fabek Uher, Božidar Benko, Sandra Voća, Jana Šic Žlabur

“…In this sense, stinging nettle (<i>Urtica dioica</i> L.) stands out as a valuable species that is neglected as a food source, as it has a significant content of specialized metabolites, and thus has an extremely high potential for use both nutritionally and pharmacologically, but is still traditionally collected from natural habitats, so it can be of questionable quality and undefined chemical composition. Therefore, sustainable agricultural practices are increasingly shifting to modern hydroponic cultivation methods in greenhouses. …”
