Drying Nettles

Drying Nettles
Nettles are a healthful green to eat, but they are only eaten cooked. Take care when handling as they will sting while raw. It takes very little cooking to shed the stinging.
They can be used in tea, fettucines, soups, salads, etc.
Jewel weed is an antitote that can be used to remove the sting.
