I bet 99,99% of you "cooks" have never used this. You post junkfood because that's all you know. Cooking for you is just buying the latest junkfood and gobbling it down like a fricking moron.

that's a literal weed.
Silly urbanite. It is a edible crop. This year, I planted a small part of my garden with them. So I could get fresh and clean (no dog poop, pestizides or other pollution) nettles. I like to use them sonetimes in salats. But mostly use them for tea and nettle beer..
Stinging nettle? I made a cookalong thread about some I picked and cooked a few months baxk. Delicious stuff, but kind of annoying to handle and prepare.
I've used it to make tea before. It was okay.
grass?
yeah im not a fricking sissy vegan
I make nettle pesto all the time.
Is that stinging nettle?
I add it to stews and soups sometimes because it's free. I just have to go pick it.
Not something I'd want to pay money for in a shop, though.
I have a few hemp plants that grew from the birdseed I throw on the back lawn. I don't smoke the stuff and I reckon it's low THC anyway. Been thinking of making pesto with it just to try it.
I'd use the seeds rather than the greenery. If you do decide to swap hemp for spinach, use a shitload of garlic, and save the pine nuts for something you're more likely to enjoy. Walnuts and almonds go better with marine iguanas anyway.
We grow nettle in the garden and use it a lot. I notice that's just a stock photo....
I'm not a cow you fricking vegan shit
those sting my legs and arms 🙁

Ma'am, this is the food board of an anime website.
it’s a japanese image board not an anime website you koont
It is not, and has never been, Japanese. If it was, the site would have been shut down more than a decade ago.
No, you're thinking of 2ch, of which this is an english knockoff.
I made spinach ravioli last week, OP.
mm mint ;DDDDddd
It's good to see another nettle fan! This is my patch, as you can see it's well harvested but that's one of the great things about nettle, it always comes back stronger. How big is your patch? What do you most use it for?
Pls say more. What does it taste like? What can you do with it besides tea/pesto? Does it still retain a slight stinging effect when you eat it?
If you eat it raw it stings, but the leaves are what you eat mostly and they are the least stingy part of the plant. Cooking it at all removes the sting entirely. Flavour wise it's similar to spinach, just generally green tasting with a slight minty hint but not in the menthol direction if you get what I mean.
As for uses, we use it as a cooked green like spinach and also make tea with it. It's very high in iron and my wife has chronic anemia so it helps a lot. Here I put some in a batch of pickles I made this evening.
Ah, ah, ah, that mint stings!
nice catnip homosexual
Made nettle bhajis once. They were pretty good.
Nettles are an old Swedish staple. We usually make nässelsoppa.
mint?
One time I went to alaska after i kayaked in the Colorado River and was sleeping in this abandoned van i found in the wilderness and ate some plants i mistook for edible and then got really sick and then I died and they found my journal... So I guess my point is to be careful
Just take the plant you think is stinging nettle and rub it on your balls. If it stings you know it's true.
Fricking GROSS. Nothing green belongs in my McDonalds.
thought it was lemonbalm at first
nettles are ok, but you need to saute them a bit, you don't want to eat it raw and have rash all over your mouth
I sometimes put them in omelete
I've used stinging nettle plenty times
Not for cooking though
as a bath whisk?
I don't know man, I've always used pic related. Other herbs just don't compare.
>people WILLINGLY give garden space to a literal weed
A weed is just a plant you don't want there, if you are putting space aside for it it isn't a weed.
Shit, I should've told the officers that!
The annoying part about nettles is you need to pick them before they start producing seeds, and only pick the fresh top leaves
>nettles
They should be eradicated
>Ouch
What’s with your moronic edgyness?
It just makes you seem like a tryhard homosexual
You mean garden tea? Wow look at you, you can maintain a bare minimum of plant life in your hovel
>Hey there, i'm op. You maybe remember me for movies like "i like wieners", "i am a robo skeleton megahomosexual" the multiple awards "i shove nettles in my ass an i scream nokkonen! nokkonen!" and the classic "i'm not here to talk about cooking but wienering"
Tasted it once, there's at least 3 kind of green leafs that's taste like that
I've made tea and tinctures from it, but all the soaking and fermentation is a bit of a pain in the ass when I've got beets, collards and garlic-mustard growing.
Hey OP, did you try eating the blossoms? They are edible and taste like pepper.
It's a weed that tastes like generic plant material. I don't exactly love it.
I did have a gazpacho made out of it once with toasted sun flower seeds and beef bacon. It tasted like baseball, and that was pretty cool from a nostalgia standpoint. Other than that I think it's kinda shit.
