Thanks, for this video. I recently uploaded a video on wild edibles. I only focused on three plants but they are quite common across the globe.

Good video but your still eating the chemical that causes the "sting" so wouldn't that harm you?

[yourroaddog]

I cannot tell the difference. At one time, I thought I had found some wood nettles, but it turned out to be Clear Weed instead.

Great video! I just discovered your videos while searching through a David Wolfe site for specific information. Well done. I also want to say that I've tried blending/beating the nettles and it still stings me. Maybe I'm not patient enough with my technique or my blender sucks. Also, I agree with how essential dirt is, but unfortunately our dirt also contains arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury in extra quantities -- brought to you by Industrial civilization.

Apples are a great source of "easy to find" food. .. Lot's of nutrients, but different. ..

Oranges, . you can get them at the store too, .. just as good for the human digestive system. .. mmmm

How are you even touching that plant. I dont know what kind of nettle that is but here in the U.S. You could not lay your fingers on the plant. Only the leaves if you are very careful. Everything you say about the nettle is true but how you are handling the plant makes me think it is a non-stinging species of nettle. There are many species of nettle and you could not hold a stinging nettle like that.
