I've always been a meat eating guy that doesn't care much for greens, but I gotta tell ya, nettles taste damn good! And, it really hits the spot that meat hits. Nettles are apparently very high in protein. And provide all sorts of other nutritional stuff for ya.
I just think it tastes good. And the texture is really great!
And I like to find sissies that squirm away from the nettles and say "What, you don't like that? Hell, I eat that stuff!" -- I dunno ... I feel a little more manly.
So this video is a normal guy harvesting nettles the normal way. Harvest the nettles, and then cook or dry it.

This crazy guy is putting the stuff right in his mouth! And check out that hair do!

Hello there, there is a group forming to learn and talk about edible wild plants in our area. It is meeting for the first time tonight (Friday June 15th) at seven thirty pm near the Greenlake theatre. I heard about this from Arthur Lee Jacobsen, so if you want to know about future meetings you could email him. In fact, I think I will email him, so we can post their meetings on our calendar.
Cheers,
Katie

We were talking at work today about the protein in nettles and how it compares to soybeans.
A bit of time with google turned up:
"Nettle is the green vegetable rich in protein. Using dry weight comparisons, the nettle is 40% protein compared with 35% protein for soy beans. And, in nettles, the amino acids are in balance. The nutritional value of its protein is better than meat! "
