are you nuts eating it?
I finally found stinging. Nettle today. Ive lived in the woods all my life but was never taught this. Within the past 2 days I have discovered, purple dead nettle, wild violate, dandelion, wild garlic and broad leaf dock. I knew some of these but never realized the importance. I guess my 2nd year gardening has sparked my interest. Thanks for the inspiration and education 🙏
I make tea . and I make nettle vinegar rince for my hair it give your hair a lovely shine all I do is I put the nettle in water add a few teaspoon of sugar add a breathable cover for the top leave for two weeks strain the leaves ,then you have nettle vinegar.
Iv heard of the vinger you've inspired me to try 😁
I will try this.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
slowly working my way through your videos, and loving them. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and enthusiam. Peace to you guys!!
Really pleased to hear your enjoying them 😁
Peace to you too 💚

😃 4:10 when he starts talking about harvesting the nettle is when this guy first has gloves on
you DO NEED GLoVES on really when having anything to do with this plant that grows all over -
I use yellow washing up gloves and dig the plant up by it's roots, all connected to the main roots underground
and wash it to get the muck that won't shake off, off the roots also wash the leaves and stems to ruin the stingers
and it is ready to eat straight away, or dry itto eat later - tomorrow, next week, whenever!
it has strong medicinal properties, and if you eat it with fresh or dried dandelions (Taraxacum),
they are dynamite and are curing my asthma
I learn something new every time I watch one of your vids, and I thought I had quite good plant knowledge! Please write a book when you have time ✌️
Thinking about writing a basic one aimed at families really clear pictures couple of interesting plants for each month. Recipes kids are likely to like. Bit of history and Folklore for each one 😁
@@homeiswhereourheartis Most excellent that would really work well I think!👍✨
Would be most excellent 😁
Also not sure if you know or not we have a Facebook page it's in the description if your on Facebook give us a like we post pictures on there and between UA-cam and Facebook we're able to be more connected with everyone 😁
Love your video and so informative!!!
Two and a half minutes in and I’ve already learned more than I ever knew about nettles and I have seen quite a few videos about them. I’m late to the party but I’m going to binge watch you now. Thanks very much for sharing this knowledge! Subscribed of course!😊
Thank you!
One of the best videos on stinging nettle thanks
Thank you very much for the info about this magnificent plant. I have been trying to grow some stinging nettles from seeds these days. They popped out yesterday in the plastic cup, and I have been babying them! :-)))) I hope I can grow them, then harvest and share with my neighbours, and even collect some seeds. And eventually share this info with as many people as possible. Regards from Canada . . . .
My pinky was inflamed for over 2 months. Finally, I found this plant and stung the pinky. 2 weeks later, the inflammation was gone.
Nice presentation well done!
Was camping at a boys camp for two weeks and ran into these plants which left me with what looked like giant blisters. Painless but looked like something out of sci fi movie. Me and maybe 20 other kids were affected. At first everyone thought we had some disease. It was actually very funny afterwards.
If it was painless then it wouldn’t be nettles. You would feel them, it stings, no amount of ego will cover it up.
Nice job brother, I really enjoy your video s, keep up the good work fam! ❤
Thanks, will do!
brilliant video from start to finish m8

I get stung a fair bit doing my gardening jobs. I’ve always wondered about the benefits. It stops hurting after a few stings and I feel very.. invigorated. 😊

Did you see our doc salve one it's awesome 😁
I love nettles
There awesome 🙂
Now this is my favourite plant the uses are endless. I tend to use the leaves for tea and eating and the stem for fibres to make cordage. Can also cut them from the bottom and they grow back 😊
It's a fantastic underestimated plant!
@@homeiswhereourheartis all "weeds" underestimated unfortunately. My whole family finds it weird that I eat them😂
really interesting video. I have used them in a soup base before but really need to utilise it more, particularly regarding hayfever. Thank you
It's a nice natural remedy 🙂
I can recommend nettle as a hay fever remedy. Start eating them as soon as the shoots appear in Spring, maybe once or twice per week. They’re delicious in soup, quiche, pesto...
@@annettehood3828 it definitely brings me Hay Fever relief too 🙂
We’re all all right!
Thanks for another useful video. Can you please share the recipe you use for making soup from the nettles?
Sure here it is 🙂

Greatness, been eating it for going up to 40 years, cleans lungs.
fomic cid for processing rubber
I make nettle wine with them
Wow I didn't realise there was so much goodness in them? Definitely will use gloves though lol xx
That's interesting. I saw the dandelion video and knew they were edible but never the stinging nettle. I still think I'm a little chicken to eat one though.. Thanks. 😁👋💖
Be brave you can do it! 😁
Great video! I thought eating nettles raw was best done in early spring when the plant is still young and more palatable?
Spring is the best time to find young nettles but you can find young ones year round if you look about you'll see fresh young healthy patches 😁
It's not sure whether histamine is one of the ingredients of the sting. It's estimated that mainly oxalic acid and tartaric acid are responsible for the sting
So, the whole way through that you were letting yourself be stung, or is there a trick? :D I do hear what you were saying about stings being good to reduce your system's allegic responses to allergens, but th one time I wasstung by nettle it was painful.. a lot!! :) Thank you for a great video.. :)
It used to be very painful for me too but after being stung so many times it doesn't really bother me anymore 😁
@@homeiswhereourheartis Well, that sounds like a long journey to get to that state, so I'll just use caution.. :D
Hi what’s the best way to make nettle tea
Please
The best way is super simple. Get some nettle leaves stew them in hot water then you've got nettle tea 🙂
@@homeiswhereourheartis thank you I will give it a go and see what it tastes like
@@dpvideos7183 I add syrup to mine is much nicer than plain herbal tea 😁
@@homeiswhereourheartis that’s sounds really nice hope u and family is all good and the bubba as well keep safe and keep makein these videos man so inspiring and interesting

@@homeiswhereourheartis is it tart?(bitter,sour?🤔 )
