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...
Interesting to know, thanks for sharing
Yes! Thank you!
It was nature not your imaginary space Wizard just like the doc didnt save your mothers life
I'll make nettle tea today and keep some in the fridge.
Very cool 😎
I dumped a load of them into the Sunday stew( didnt tell them) instead of the usual spinache and they loved it, it's good knowing it will give us plenty vitamins too👍😀
i just moved into the forest, and when I walked around this morning, i saw hundreds of nettle plants. I'm in heaven!
What else do u see??

I have been avoiding these or destroying them for years- isn't a little bit of knowledge priceless!
same. im going to try this. apparently it's good for energy and weightlifting as well.

I remember doing this with my dad almost 60 years ago. My grandparents were using stinging nettles as a vegetable during the war years.
Funny how we have food all around us but we only eat whats 'trendy'. I remember going to a friends house and her mom served us dandelion leaves and I was kinda horrified. Fast forward 10 years and i bought a bunch in Manhattan for $6
So how old are you ?
😅 see in
@@goesaroundcomesaround Over 60.
60yrs ago!Right choice.
What I love about camping is the odd facial expressions and reactions people give me when I come back to the camp site telling them dinner will be ready soon. All they seen me with was what just seemed to be weeds, roots and leaves.
Great video. They also lower your blood pressure, ease inflammation, relieve stress, and a sour stomach in 20 minutes after drinking which gives you a boost of energy. Just harvested about 3 pounds, air dried, and crushed. I steep it, then run it through a coffee press. Sierra mountains, northern California.
Hi Flynn,
Yes, they are certainly a super food...👍
I read a post which said avoid nettle if you got high blood pressure or high cholesterol and family physicians seem to know little to f all about herbs spices and food generally.
@@Xztjh53 I think what they meant is, avoid if you are on medications for those ailments but I am not a doctor.
I stumbled upon this and was quickly going to make a comment making fun of this guy. While typing my stupid comment I actually started listening and soon realized he is probably a thousand times smarter than i am and is very informative. I deleted my comment and subscribed instead. Hope to learn more. Keep up the good work!
Glad you stayed around to watch...
I actually not that smart but I try !!!
Thanks for your comments,
ATB, Steve
I'm getting deja vu
:-) *
MrHollywoodcoe you have just copied and paste the same comment by Kyle Bailey from learnyourland channel because it got almost a thousand likes . Talk about attention seeking .
You said exactly the same thing on another video about stinging nettles
My husband pointed me here because he has prostate cancer and his doctor told him about Nettle Tea
I am continually amazed by the beneficial plants that we take for granted because we think they are weeds.
OMG I say this all the time
My daughter and I have literally just had a cup of nettle tea. Went out and picked them an hour ago, just the tips, and let it brew for 10 minutes. It had an unusual taste a little bit like the flavour and smell of sweet corn soup. Very pleasant actually. Things you do in a ‘ lockdown’..........
Crazy to think Stinging Nettle is big business in the supplement world when it is so abundant!
I have so many in my yard and always called them prickly bastards before today. Happy that they serve a purpose and ready to try this tea. thank you!
I've seen stinging nettle save a fellow's kidneys. He was on a waiting list for kidney donations. Two weeks on & the doc said it was a miracle. The entire plant is great food for your tomatoes as well. The tea was known as Spring Tonic to old timers. Tells ya something, eh?
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.
How did he prepare the plant? Very interesting
Sounds like a big unsupported claim you're making there...
Swanky Garbage seems like there could still be the possibility for you to look at this situation through a different lens. Ask yourself what motivation would the author of that post have ? Money.... not likely.
Prestige ..... possibly, but to a very limited extent Promotion of a belief system..... possibly and most likely. I hope that you never find yourself in a situation where belief in a positive outcome will determine your fate. Regardless. All the best this life can offer to you and your loved ones.
@@Murrfast thank you for your comment, it's very rare to actually have someone reply in such a kind way on this platform. I wasn't trying to imply that the OP had bad intentions in making his claim. My only issue is that when making such an unsubstantiated claim you're prone to causing harm. Alternative medicine, although innocuous enough most of the time can sometimes lead to serious issues if it causes people to ignore their ailment.
I’v spent years eradicating these out of the garden.
Now I’m considering planting them back in....🙄
I think you'll save a lot of time and effort by just going out and foraging them...
It's probably a lot easier!!
ATB, Steve
And I guess you have being doing that with Dandelion too
Yep. You can also construct a three stage rocket booster, a tower crane and a amphibious landing craft with it .....
Lol
,@@TheWrinklyNomadsQ
Me too, Nettle tea, but I dry it first drink it cold... I let it soak 15 to 30 min... A real treat.. And reusable, with the same soaked leaves put again cold water.. 4 times you can do that.. Have a try and let me know...
Also they're good for prostate health and should be harvested during the late spring and early summer . It's worth noting that you should always make sure they haven't been in an area that's been sprayed with herbicides or insecticides .
Them sprayer are disabled Brains they forget they are spray cancer and harming naturals Insects
How do you know they have been sprayed with pesticide?
@@michelles2299 just don’t get them from anywhere near fields/ farms and allotments etc. I’d assume. Also don’t get them from right next to a heavily used footpath (Unless you want a mouth full of human/dog piss in your brew)
@@harrybaldwin7517 extra nutrients
Or get them from European stores i get mines from Mariano’s and it’s imported from Poland and cheap in Europe they don’t do pesticides
I used to drink nettle tea everyday whilst doing heavy work.beaut stuff,really the busness for the kidneys and immune system.
theirs millions in my local woods how do i know if their ok .somone says the needles on some are poisenous?
Spending most of my childhood playing across acres and acres of fields, this video brought many happy memories flooding back, including battling stingers , almost on a daily basis 😂😂.
I make a nourishing infusion every day, my skin, nails, general health rapidly improved, I get results where multivitamins and mineral tablets just failed to do.
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.
:-) sounds lovely* Thank you for taking the time to share

I do similar to you. Susun weed is a herbalist i watch and she teaches about these herbal infusions. ☺
Sounds like a witch's kitchens.
Great video, I have recently started getting into survival/bushcraft, can't believe how long I have thought these plants were nothing but a nuisance. I guess mother nature provides us with what we need.
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!
Some good ideas there Eugenia, thank you 👍
@@TheWrinklyNomads most welcome :)
@@eugeniab2990how do I get it grow in my garden
Absolutely brilliant. I decided to boil up some nettles yesterday to eat.
I wasn't disappointed, they tasted great.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the nettles 👍👍
Stinging nettles helped people survive the Irish famine because of the protein content
Nettles are a go to when i run out of coffee, also used in stews and soups and they grw back so well.
I think the reason you should limit intake is because they contain oxalic acid crystals, in the same way that sorrel and many other wild plants do, which can build up in the body over time and cause problems.
Yes watched a video where a man says plants don’t want be eaten and do anything to stop you
@@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.
But the heat kills all the oxalis acid. Crystals
I got stung in my right calf while disc golfing a couple hours ago. Now that brought me to this video. I now want to try this tea and the leaves.
That's weird, I harvest my stinging nettle at the local disk golfing course 🤔
I have since bought nettle tea from the local nutrition store and it's really good.
@@davidbogaert4611 That's awesome! What course? My incident happened at Wintercrest in Coon Rapids MN.
...the Dockleaf always grows with the nettle, the juice from that is the antedote to the nettle-sting.
Thank-you for making this video to help people learn about the super nutritious Nettle. It grows on our property here in Virginia and although we've been here twenty years I only made it a goal to study and use it this year!! So thankful to have this super food here to forage and make into fresh or dried tea, Irish Nettle soup or simply sautee fresh like spinach. All of the health benefits that you so clearly stated make it an exciting ally for living healthier.
Brilliant Marra!
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!
I've recently got hooked after coming into a huge patch! I'm eating it, drinking it and making tincture now. Good stuff! Love your info!!
Staghorn Sumac berries are another amazing source of nutrients, tastes like lemonade when cold. North American Indians, certainly my friends on the Shubenacadie reservation in Nova Scotia, call it Coolade.
How do they make it with berries? We have quite a supply of them here in Michigan😁
I have a ton of nettles in my garden. This could feed my estate for a year. Was going to get rid of them. As I came across your channel. Will keep the nettles. Thank you for sharing this. Will now collect the leaves. Make nettle tea and have the leaves with a mushroom omlettte. ☺
and keep the Dandelions too Rachel .
I know you can eat dandelion but never heard of eating daisies
What a great video and lesson. Here in the Pacific Northwest of America we have a huge amount of these stinging nettles everywhere, to include my own yard. Time for tea. Thanks for the video.
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.
Wow that sounds like a beautiful creation 💫 Thank you for sharing all the wonderful details. Blessings to you
I love frying in organic extra Virgin olive oil with a pinch of salt n pepper. I also drink as tea, boil as a vegetable and making a hair rinse n see phenomenal results with hair growth n health. One of my favorite herbs. Mullein is my second best favorite followed by usnea
Very interesting 'recipe' there Michael.
I sometimes suffer from a dry scalp, so might look into this a bit more.
Thank you for commenting 👍
ATB, Steve
I've been drinking stinging nettle tea for over a year now. Ill never not drink it. I also pick, dandelion leafs, raspberry leafs, chamomile, a certain kind of pine needle (must VERY CAREFULLY RESEARCH BECAUSE OTHER SOME PINE NEEDLES ARE POISONOUS) some organic honey, and then let it cool down add some water and it makes a WONDERFUL iced tea.
You did an excellent job. I love how you didn't take the whole stem when picking nettle. Thank you for the video.
kolet how do i know wich ones are safe . theirs loads in my local park lol ???
@@magdebates2697 different types off stinging nettle? Well, ill say this... don't take the advice of a stranger on the internet. Google it for yourself. Do your own research. Make sure YOU know what's edible, and what isn't. With that being said, if you know what stinging nettle is, it's all safe. I like to think stinging nettle stings, because it's so delicious, and so healthy, it needed to create it's own defense, so all the animals won't kill it off. If it stings you, it's safe. DONT NOT CONFUSE WITH POISON IVY! however it's would hard if you know what stinging nettle looks like, and what poison ivy looks like. DO YOUR RESEARCH! 🥰
As for the pine needles, it's how the needles grow from the branch. If they are clumped in two or three. Its safe. If they are single needles. They are not. But you DEFINITELY need to research that one and make sure you understand that. Because the wrong g one can and will hurt you. Ok?
@@kolethall2716 il just buy some tea bags lol
from ebay
@@magdebates2697 anyway you can get it is good! I like foraging, it's great to be in the nature, getting fresh air. Knowing your plants. Being one with nature can cure alot more then physical. :)
This is something that most people from the Caribbean grow up on and fed it to their children also😊😊😊
Those seem to grow back no matter what lol, I don't think you can over pick them. nice vid!
Thank you for this great video. I use this tea as an anti allergy remedy. It works really well for me and for some other people I know. They sell it in tea bags were I live. In Cyprus. Great stuff.
Jewl weed grows near it. At least everywhere i have found it. ( southern Illinois. MO ozarks) jewl weed takes the sting out of nettel stings. Yes i have used it😊.
Never ate nettles yet, dont know why. I always miss the fiddle heads.
I planted some in a pot and can't wait until it gets big enough.
I really enjoyed this video. I was stung once by a stinging nettle, and I didn't like it. But now, I can use it for my morning tea, and I'm really excited about it. I order a bunch of seeds, I'm going to grow them all over the place. And they are deer resistant too.
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.
Deer resistant... good to know, thanks!
I like the video about how to pick and cook stinging nettle. I'm a huge fan of nettle and I drink the tea-coffee every day and take the herbal pill twice at night. It keeps me from getting up to go to the bathroom so much. It works and I love it.
From Lil Giant Where is the video that teaches you how to pick and cook nettle?
@@henryvalero9235 you’re watching it. Lol
one of the best Herbs out there
When we was young we used to make stinging nettle beer
Did it give you a stinging drunk?
I have tried teas from many different wild plants. They have all been OK - take it or leave it. This is the first wild plant tea that I have tried that is honestly delicious. I will be heading back to a nearby nettle patch. I am also going to dry some and see how they keep.
Hi Joe,
Yes, it's a distinct taste that's quite nice I think.
The leaves will dry well, especially using a dehydrator.
I have also used a vacuum sealer and once they're dried they keep for ages...
ATB, Steve
Thank you so much watching from South Africa we do have this plant ✌🙏💕💕
The limitation to 3 cups per day may be due to the presence of oxalate in the plant which can be toxic in large amounts (
dude- thank YOU from across the pond
My grandmother would put some dried nettle into a glass jug and add room temp water and let the jug sit for most of the day. At some point the water would turn a light bright green. That was the time to drink it. Can speed up the process by putting it in the sun to brew.
That’s beautiful. Simple as that. Thanks for sharing 💫
great giving this a go tomorrow. Could do this as a veg for Sunday roast like you said and then make the gravy from the water to get all nutrients into the dinner
Out on a Quick Bimble!!😄🕊
Regarding 1:17. I grow stinging nettle in my garden, and I cut the whole plant down and it always grow back.
Totally relaxed watching this.. please loads more foraging videos
Thanks a lot for posting it, and letting us know about all these amazing benefits!
i knew they had some goodness such as iron and zinc. i am an holistic health practitioner here in London and love doing my own tinctures and herbal remedies. I have done Elderflower tincture last year - its antibacterial and antiviral properties!! ( great for the current covid, if there is such a thing..anyway)
will soon harvest wild nettles and use them more, teas, dried, and steamed will go really well :) all best, blessings mate
I would love to hear how you make elderflower tincture & how much to take if you have the time to share? All the best 💕
Me too.
✌♥️🇬🇧
Interesting herb. I will now include it in my herbal tea concoction. It's abundant in our location.
This stinging nettles looks very much like Maori puha Tara Tara, it has the stinging nettles. We eat it as a vegetable in our bollup with meat and potatoes, sweet potatoes. Maori people knows there's a lot of valuable health properties in puha and it's deletious.
I thought puha was a thistle not a nettle ?
@@erinloo8921 have you seen and prepared puha Tara Tara? It may not be what this person is mentioning, because we come from a different country, and ye they grow differently, but perhaps the same family.
@@hineherewini5757 yes I eat it but I am no plant expert
Great video.
About the honey. You might want to add that you will only get the benefits of it if you add it after the temperature has dropped - I belive it is below 40 degrees Celsius. If not, it is basically just a tastier sugar 😉
A very good point Johan.
I normally let mine cool down first anyway.
If it burns my lips then its too hot and will destroy the nutrients in the honey.
that is not real honey
@GazB85 He means the big plastic honey bottle he brought with him looks like 99% of honey you buy, FAKE. Real honey comes in small glass jars and cost between 10£ - 15£ depending on the purity
Great revelation and well presented.thanks
@@gavfitzpatrick I buy raw honey from local venders from NM and CO for $20 a quart. its SO good. One vender told me they hated having to sell 55 gallon drums of perfect honey to the markers of Suebee and the like cuz they mix honeys from all over and cook them to death...totally ruins honey! try local farmer's markets.
I grew up hating this plant, now I have a deep appreciation for it.
I have a horse with a severe skin issue, she scratches herself until she bleeds. A friend gave me a bag of dried nettle that we added to her food, the hair actually grew back.
Thank you so much! I have these growing around my home in suburbia NJ. you’ve inspired me to take my 9 year old outside this morning and make our own tea! Thank you again!!🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️

Thanks so much for instructional video! You have pleasant vibe and are really easy to learn from. I also loved all the white seeds floating through the air and the beautiful bird songs, for some reason the atmosphere reminded me of Zelda's Hyrule, haha. I'm excited to try some nettle tea!
So im a young biker, and knowing I can make a tea from the thing that i have issues with while riding sounds amazing. Thankyou so much
Sounds like sweet revenge 😂
God bless you so much man of God,I am so happy to see this I don't know what I can say about this I am very happy.
I dry them.out add to my Dandelions, make super nutritional boost to body..

FROM OUR HUGE PATCH OF THIS WONDER PLANT. IT IS ABOUT 12 FT X 10 FT AND VERY DENSELY PACKED, HEARD IT WAS GREAT FOR BALDING MEN'S HEADS. GOT IT FOR BALDING HUBBY.
I am blessed to live in an area in northern lower Michigan with an abundance of wild edible palnts and mushrooms . I love to enjoy all plants but when they get out of control stinnging nettles is very good for your compost to .
Thanks very much. I was going to buy dried nettle leaf to make tea but then I spotted a patch of nettles growing in my garden. Having no idea how much I would need or how on earth to go about making nettle tea this video was just what I needed. Thanks very much. I loved the guitar music as well, as you were making the fire and waiting for the water to boil - could you tell me the name of the track?
Hi,
Thank you, glad you liked it.
The music is for the free UA-cam audio library,

I enjoyed the guitar as well. Good choice.
Thanks for the vid, mate. Been growing nettles in the big city and loving it!
I absolutely love reading the comments on this app. So much info!!!
The stinging nettle here in the Philippines is endemic this just grows on grassy and moist areas, slightly different but once you touch it will sting you. I just learned the the medicinal value from a chinese herbal book. Locals here doesn't really know it's medicinal value.
It's funny I cane across your comment, I have a friend in Taguig City whose son is coming down with the sniffles today because it's "cold" and raining the last few days. I looked up to see if stinging nettle grows there and sure enough it does, so I told her to make some tea of it for him. Was watching this video to share with her and she had no idea that the weed that is all around her is so nutritionally rich.
I find it interesting to see a lot of the common plant species in Europe that are also common though out the US. I know a lot we have here were brought over but still cool to see the similarities
From Lil Giant According to the geologists the theory of plate tectonics, if proven to be correct, may result in the original continent of Pangea returning to its approximately original location, as the plate movement brings them back around. The US and Canada in that original formation were next to the EU. South America and Africa, which have similar plant/animal species, were also next to each other. Mentioning it as possible explanation for our similarities in plant life with EU.
@@henryvalero9235 I was also thinking about the theory of plate tectonics when she mentioned this.
Thank you for making this video ! I have been studying up on the subject of Nettles. I used to make my husband nettle tea and his health was very good. He stopped wanting it and a few years later he came down with prostate issues. I am, needless to say going to start making it for him again and see if i can get him back on track as i have heard it is very good at helping with that.

This dude is adorable!
When i was watching your video i spotted some lovely Stinging Nettles and have started picking them up. Now at home making my some some energizing and delicious thee. 😊
You should switch from the aluminum kettle to a non-reactive stainless steel one, because aluminum is a toxic heavy metal and leeches into solution in the presence of acid ... and nettles are very high in ascorbic acid.
Aside from that, great vid. 👍
I actually made that video 6 years ago..!
I've evolved a lot since then and now use titanium 👍

@@TheWrinklyNomads Cool.
Just for context ... I watch a lot of global cuisine vids, and in most non-industrial countries the most common cookware is either aluminum or ceramic, because its cheap and easy to fabricate. I cringe when I see (for example) vids from India of charity groups feeding orphans, or large temple kitchens feeding hundreds of visitors from giant aluminum karai pans that simmer a long time, often with acidic ingredients or dishes. Major invisible public health hazzard, esp for young children. 😢
Hmmm ... never seen a titanium pot. Aside from being 1/3 lighter (backpacking friendly), I dont see much benefit for titanium over std 3-ply stainless steel, for cookware purposes. I suppose how it behaves magnetically would be the tiebreaker (stainless steel is non-mag, thus NG with induction ... i dunno if Ti is the same or not). What brand ?
ATB back atcha. 👍
Brilliant video great presentation and you come across as a great chap I'm in Norfolk as i thought that it was the capital of stinging nettles as they grow abundantly well here.
Now that I have seen your interesting video about these stingers I will have to go and harvest them, thank you very much mate great 👍👍👍👏👏👏
@@RovingPunster doesn't stainless steel also react with acidic foods? I think I read something like that before, maybe just a lot less than the aluminium?
@@NAISMITH96 No, stainless steel does NOT react with acidic foods. That is what "non-reactive" cookware means.
You could easily have googled that, so im trying not to assume you're just trolling me.
I used to have a camouflage hat like that but I can't find it anywhere
🤣🤣
We make curry from stinging Nettle green and it's really delicious.
Nice one, I should try that.
Thanks...
I've always been told that he buds at the top have the most vitamins in, and there for it's those you pick to make your tea.
This is great. I have them all over in the woods behind the house! I'm heading out to pick some now!
After world war 2 in germany , i was told those who ate nettles survived the starvation .
I like to drink it with an ordinary tea bag mixed. What we call a double bag brew. I also do the same with pine needle tea. You get this amazing dry full flavour. My favourite tea to have it with is Assam. You can do the same with dandelions or even mix all 3 ! You can also hang the stems and air dry them and store them like you would any dried herb. I thread cotton through the stems and leave them hanging to dry out.
Mix nettle with wild sumach flower seeds and red root of the sassafras tree . Absolutely Smashing Tea
Thank you for the information. I’m going to look for this plant 🌱.
Great vid brother the powers that be don't want us to know this great information
Many Thanks For Making This Easy To Follow And Enjoyable Video. Nettles=Free Health Tonic 💚
Got introduced to this plant a few months ago, now I can't go without having a cup of it a day. Turns out it's so healthy your body just gloms onto it and I drag through the day of I don't have it.
It's also great with salt and apple cider vinegar. Tastes just like pot liquor.
Try to make more videos like this on using natural herbs and shrubs
Thanks, am looking forward to trying this!
Have a ton in my yard - stopped weed whacking it and am now making tea & soup!!!
I love this! I’m totally looking for safe ways to use nettles and this has helped me out a treat!
Beautiful information, and Beautifully done 😊 Thank you so much!
Hi Darria,
Thank you very much,
take care,
Steve
Generally heating destroys most of vitamins. Isn’t this true in this case? My sister dries it then grind it into powder and throw the powder on her salad.
just picked some nettle from the end of our garden - supposed to help with hay fever - only suffering this year wilt you know
Nice little video on your "bimble". It's odd if you can eat them like spinach, but shouldn't have more than 3 cups of tea a day. Why is that, I wonder - over-cautious legal disclaimers from medicinal remedies off the shelf? If anyone knows, I'd really appreciate a reply. I'm thinking of "mullering" these from my allotment! By the way, the rhysome (creeping underground stem) makes a good remedy for BPH, which most men suffer from by 60+, benign prostate hyperplasia (enlarged prostate). I'm not sure how to process it for that, maybe just a tea as well - just starting to research this now.
