Foraging Stinging Nettles

Stinging nettles are a super healthy and abundant green in Virginia. Use caution when collecting them as they nettles have little hairs that sting. Make sure you know how to identify the correct plant.

I went down to the river and foraged some stinging nettles while wearing gloves and long sleeves. Spring is the best time to forage nettles as they are the most tender. I show how to forage, cook and prep nettles to make them safe to eat without getting stung.
