@motherearthnewsmagazine: Stinging nettles (Urtica dioica) are covered with little hairs that sting or irritate your skin but they are concentrated on the stems and the parts of the leaves that are closest to the stems. You can harvest with gloves or pay attention and grab just the tips of the leaves as you snip them. Cooking the nettles gets rid of the sting. We love them in hot tea with honey, in quiche, or fried in your favorite cooking oil to make nettle chips. #foraging #nettles #stingingnettles #gardeningtips #springgardening
