HOW TO EAT RAW STINGING NETTLE
This is one of favorite wild edibles.
Yes, they do have quite a sting as well, but don't let that scare you. The nutritional benefits of this plant alone should at least encourage you to check it out. In this video, I share a bit about this plant and demonstrate how to enjoy eating it raw in the wild.

My favourite too, I think it’s a crime to cook it :D It tastes so much better when it’s raw! I love salads with nettle(smashed with olive oil and salt with gloves). Great that you’re spreading this info :) I met once one really old forager in the forest, and he told me - if people knew how nutritious and healthy the nettle is, they would eat only nettle :D
Wow! Very cool! I love what the forager told you too!
WTF?!...:)...
Really?
Hi papa :-)
Hello!
That was great man! I've seen loads of vids on this one over the years and am familiar with it but it never hurts to see another. Good one!
Eating weeds and playing in the stinging nettle? These are signs that you are turning into a goat! Check to see if your feet are turning into hooves or if you are starting to develop horns.
LOL - Soon I plan on making a wild edibles video called "Man vs. Goat!" You're onto me!
haahaha
Hahaha!
Hallelujah!
Hopefully this leaf can you use and useful for all who use it.
How does it taste ?
Hmmm.... That is a flavor that I can't quite place at the moment, but perhaps I'll munch some more in an attempt to get an answer. It is not unpleasant though, and it does taste healthy.
I went out to look for any nettles but I only found these
(not my picture, it's from google)
I think think this is called an Archangel and it's white fruit (look at the pic) tastes really good if you suck the juice out of it.
I didn't try but I don't know if it's good to eat that plants leaves aswell.
Maybe you know :D
Anyways tomorrow I will go look for some real nettles and try to eat them like you did.
SO glad this is in my feed! Know of it from pain, heard of it as food, but never tried it because I hate pain.
To ease into it, just cut some leaves off with scissors while wearing gloves, rinse them off, and saute them in butter. You should love it!
@papa-pepper Thanks for the tip. I love anything sauteed in butter ;)
Dang hahaha I never knew, I always hated those guys!
