Stinging nettles

<< < (3/4) > >>

AndrewS:
yesterday I have made falafel with  nettle.

bjrogg:
Any suggestions on harvesting and maybe storing for later use? Can you just cut it at ground level bag it in zip lock freezer bag and store in freezer? Thinking about bringing some to Marshall if it works out.

I use fresh only so no comment on preservation
I'd suggest not to get the entire plant unless it is very very young
Take only the tender apical part
stem gets woody and fibrous very soon

Glis I'm thinking it probably will be about right around here at same time as Marshall. Could be wrong though. I've never tried it before and have wanted to. Might be time to get even with that stuff for all the times it got me. I'll have to pay closer attention to it.

Well, finally had time to look it up. Your Nettles aren't the same as our Nettles. The edible ones are Urtica Chamaedryoides and the ones in Florida is Cnidoscolus Urens var. Stimiulosus. The ones in Florida only the roots are edible.
