    I love the taste. I put it in Ramen with peas, making Ramen a bit nutritious. I drink it just like tea and eat the leaves like cooked spinach. Don't be scared of the sting, drop it in hot water and the sting is gone in seconds. If you let the dry leaves sit for a few days the sting dries up and you can eat it raw, but it's a papery texture, so not as fun to eat. I just this morning got a wasp sting and my hand was throbbing. I could see the little red spot on my palm, and it really stung. I put nettle tea (in my fridge) on the spot - just a half teaspoon or so, and within seconds the sting was gone - and 20 minutes later I can't see the spot! How cool is that? A stinging nettle can relieve wasp stings! Nature is awesome...thank you God for being so creative as we discover all these things with wonder...

      That is good to share! I personally enjoy the leaves simmered in broth and or added to soups. (Replaces spinach in soup recipies) i like the texture of nettle leaves better than spinach, (which just turns to mush when cooked) As far as taste, i never notice a taste. They seem to take on the flavor of whatever they're cooked in. Moatly the texture i notice. Funny how people spray dangerous chemicals to get rid of so much that is healthy to eat... even a super food. We have become spoiled and lazy. No need to know anything about free food foraging. It's all at the store.

    nettle stings are super beneficial for one’s health actually, and to get rid of the unpleasant side effects - just rub some green herb juice over it! sorrel works well, and a bunch of others! nettle leaves are beautiful in salads as well (dip into boiling water for 1-2 seconds to remove the sting). Also great in baking! …plus, if you have leftovers, leave it to ferment in water outside for a couple of weeks, and there you have yourself the best insecticide for the garden!

    One day it will be nettle, the next will oat straw, day after will be red clover, all dried stuff either bought or harvested myself, some times I mix it with other herbs like holy basil, ginger, turmeric root, hawthorn, elderberry, liquorice root (very sweet stuff) and so on.
    Just put 1oz in total (30g) of your chosen dried herbs In a large jar, add 1 pint of freshly boiled water, stir and leave for a minimum of 4 hours, (usually over night) then strain and drink within 24 hours. Keep it up and you will quickly see the benefits.

      @@laurenpaterson3475 Well that's called carnivore propaganda, and isn't that simple. plants create defense mechanisms to avoid being consumed or destroyed by pests or animals that will not benefit the species, whereas with humans when we consume something we tend to cultivate it ourselves, allowing the plant species as a whole to thrive (if naturally grown)- plants want to grow and evolve like we do and we help facilitate this and do not feel pains the purpose of pain is to escape the threat which plants cannot do. Our bodies our very good at dealing with plant 'toxins' which is entirely quantity based making everything technically toxic. If you have leaky gut then these compounds may affect you more- but does not make plants unhealthy. Also, nettles don't actually contain many oxalates, but they do facilitate its excretion, so i'm unsure where the user got that information.

    I’ve just made my first nettle soup, and it was divine.
    Your tea has made me realise that I’m never going to starve.
    I keep rabbits, free-range, in my backyard, and the only thing, - vegatably - , that they don’t ravagely eat is stinging nettles, so I’ve let them go, and I just harvest the bounty.
    There’s a theory/belief that stinging arthritic parts of your body provides relief from the pain. I haven’t worked out whether it’s a mask, or a relief yet though.
    Maybe soon, we’ll all have to live this way. And not a bad way to live I must add.
    Respect!

    My recipe.collect a big handfull of nettles about two cups or a soup bowl worth.chop up some fresh sweet cabbage and some celery Get two or three leaves of milk thistle from your garden and a couple leaves of dandelions from the garden. chop all of them together finally after you wash them. Then put a saucepan medium saucepan on the stove with half of it water and through all the Greens in and let it slowly boil for 10 minutes. Make sure all the greens are chopped up really fine. Then to the soup add a chicken stock cube then add a teaspoon of turmeric powder the teaspoon of paprika a teaspoon of cracked black pepper break a small piece of fresh ginger and throw them all into soup. Add a teaspoon of mild mustard a teaspoon of fresh crushed garlic.. tablespoon and a half of oyster sauce a teaspoon of hoisin sauce a teaspoon of fish sauce and throw that in to the soup. Then get a tablespoon of white vinegar and put that into. And chop up a handful of parsley and chop up about 3 sticks of spring onions and chop them up fine but not too fine.make sure all of these ingredients boil slowly for another 10 minutes. While you're doing that get another saucepan and boil some water and while that's starting to boil put some thin rice noodles into a bowl with water and let them soak for five minutes until the water boils and then put the rice noodles in for about 5 to 7 minutes or until they're soft and silky. Then quickly break to eggs into the soup without breaking them and within two minutes they should be cooked and then you can turn the stove off. If you did it right then the eggs will be around like a ball and the yoke will be soft on the inside so when you put the soup into the bowl you can then break both eggs open and the yolk will spread through the soup and give it extra flavour and protein. Put some fresh Lebanese bread or Turkish bread into the toaster and then lightly spread margarine on after the toast is brown and eat the soup with the toasted bread. If you want you can grate some fresh cheese over the soup for extra flavour which is something that I d do and don't forget to put the rice noodles in at the end.This is a powerful and delicious and a super Meal.this app is very powerful cleansing nutritious and stuff with vitamins and minerals and this will rejuvenate your energy and give you strength within minutes. If you have other ingredients like galangal coriander then you can shut them up and add them in as well.it depends on your area and your location and what fresh foods are available at that time but for the most part you should be able to find all of these especially in winter. Stinging nettles mainly come out in spring or autumn and winter cuz they don't like the hot weather. In winter they will be abundant in your gardens must your flowers and if you have a veggie garden they will be amongst your weeds. Like he said only cut the top off so they can keep on growing.

      From Lil Giant Where would you order such seeds? What is deer resistant? They would refuse to eat something that stung. Is that what you mean? They do not eat it? Hoping start a homestead next year and researching stuff now.
