As a Nutritional Herbologist I have been eating raw stinging nettle leaves for many years. You can make a very delicious Pesto by substituting half of the basil leaves in your recipe with stinging nettle leaves. Put all ingredients in a blender and presto, you’ve got pesto. The grinding from the blender triggers the release of the acid contained in the needle-like hairs, which is then almost immediately neutralised. Carefully wash the leaves, leave them out to dry, then make your Pesto. I’ve never been stung in all the years I have been making pesto with raw nettles and basil. Lovely video. Thank you for sharing this precious information on the benefits of raw stinging nettles. Wishing everyone the best of health.

Awesome video. My dad use to make gallons of nettle wine. Love the taste. If you ever get stung, you will always find dock leaves nearby. Grab a dock leaf and rub it on the part of skin which has been stung. The dock leaf will help neutralise the stinging sensation. When I lived in Buxton as a kid, I got stung for fun until my body got so use to it, the stings never bothered me. Great plant.

During the poorer era in Europe, women and children used to gather all the nettle they could find because of all its vitamin. They specially dried them so they could use it in their stu during the winter. Ever since I found out about it 2 years ago, I've been using it for soup, stu, pie and tee (mixed with young birch leafs) Instead of before when I cursed at them for growing everywhere.

Where I'm at the stinging nettle are getting hard to find because of over-harvesting and people practicing unsustainable harvesting methods by pulling the entire plants out of the roots. I know several places that were once dominated by stinging nettles are now being replaced by giant ragweed. So, be considerate and practice sustainable harvesting methods when you harvest stinging nettles since these plants now have a lot of people harvesting them thanks to the advent of the Internet, which has made foraging more popular and identifying plants easier.

On the contrary. Don't avoid the sting. We beat ourselves with nettle to treat arthritis pain and promote blood circulation. You get used to the sting after 2 weeks. The most powerful part of the nettle are the seeds . When the seeds start drooping downwards its time to harvest. Dry in a warm dark room with zero moisture . Eat 1 teaspoon of nettle and 1 tabs of chia seeds in tomato soup for a powerful antibiotic dish. In that tomato soup you can also add Curry Ginger Turmeric and garlic along with 1 tabs of well chopped walnuts Leg me know how you like my antibiotic tomato soup.

ALSO: the immature flower/seed buds are good eating too.

Then a wipe down with a cold wet towel, then wrap in bedsheet and blanket, then to "relax" in bed. The great whole body sensation subsides within 5 minutes, and goes away. They practice this technique to stimulate the major elimination/detox, organ of the body, the skin. Then on to the steam cabinet. Spectacular

Hi, Well, I also eat them raw, so I can't see any problems with that. Only thing is the boiling process tends to neutralise the stingers and I don't know if blending would do anything there. Always worth a try though.. I have a "how to eat stinging nettles raw" video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX6lmpSgr7qCo6c ATB, Steve

@@TheWrinklyNomads Thank you for your assistance... Yes but I think boiling them also reduce nutrition...... My only fear is, all my internals stinging for hours after consumption....... I wouldn't want to risk it... Would have been nice to know if someone has tried it before......
