    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...

    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!

    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.

(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.

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.

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.

    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.

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?

    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.

    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.

      @@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 ?
