Nettles!! One of my Favorites and Extremely Nutritious!
This plant is one of my favs for a reason. It does so much for the human body it is remarkable. Respiratory, bone health, supports kidney function, helps with water retention and anti-inflammatory, also great for heart, prostate and skin health. And it has vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients! This plant is one of the foundation plants for us thriving on this earth!!

Im seeing that many steemians in the cannabis community really give this plant props!! Im going to go on the hunt for some of this stuff, and say fuck buying fertilizer from the garden shop!!

Thanks for the tip!
Awesome! In England these are growing wild everywhere all the time... hurts when you’re walkibg and brush past them though haha! Or falling off your bike into a pile....
So you you make nettle soup or something with them?
I put them in soup, tea, fresh in smoothies, in salads(if you blanch for 10 seconds it takes away the sting. All time favorite is a cold infusion tea. Just water and nettles soaked overnight almost like an energy drink but with way more clarity!!
Cool thank you! I’m going to try some of this before:) I’ve had nettle soup in the past and loved it. Nettle water sounds great:)
I recognize this and include them in my green drink, daily. Will have to try the cold tea. Plants are starting to bolt. Let's find a way to collaborate in person. My I-5 coordinate is exit 88. Namaste'.
Btw, the plant curly dock is useful to remove the nettle sting. Crush a leaf and rub it direct on the contact area.
