To store nettle leaves and maximize their shelf life, ensure they are completely dry before storing. Fresh nettle leaves are best used immediately. If you must store them, wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator; they will typically last for 1-2 days. Dried nettle leaves should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place, like a pantry, away from direct sunlight and heat to maintain their flavor and potency for up to a year. For longer storage, consider freezing blanched nettle leaves; they can retain their quality for several months.
