it's really good for you[very high in Iron] just boil nettle tips[the top 2-3" at most] and drink what's left,strain it if you want.

A great mix is Pin needle tea[boil 'em and train the liquid] has a higher Vitamin C content than orange juice and then use this liquid[it's kind of like air freshened water,fairly tasteless though] to make the nettle soup.

Super nutritious,super cheap[even before the zombocolypse this is a good idea]

and if you don't come by a forestry with nettles and needles,you're doing it wrong.All you need is major food groups after this stuff and you can live quite healthily[probably better than most of us do now]

A friend of mine has collected a load of nettles to make cider & mead.

ah that pin needle idea will do great with my surviving in the forest idea!
and do nettles have seeds so we can grow more?
