RE: No Mow May and exploring the folklore, Legends, Culinary Delights, and ecological importance of Nettle Patches

in GEMSlast year

What an interesting post! In my city I have seen many nettle plants and until now I did not know that it was so useful, what I found most pleasant of all is that many insects use it for their benefits, this is very useful for the ecosystem... what a pleasant plant !

Well they do sting if you need to get across them, but once cooked they're delicious and as good if not better than spinach.

i do like spinach , i should really try this!

You won't regret :)
try google for nordic nettle soup,though I like it better in my omelette. It's rather earthy and soft.

I agree, lovely post, I love nettle, very yummy, better than spinach actually. Plenty of wild plants we ignore but they are more nutritious that shop bought ones.
