nettles

[johnjo]

I read that nettles have lots of health benefits - what are they and how do you take the nettles?

[incitatus]

The young tips of nettles contain a lot of iron and other nutrients. Pick them (use gloves) and either boil like spinach or fry them in butter. As long as the plant is thoroughly cooked it won't sting you. You can also make a very good beer from them.
