green goodness. beware their sting. arachadonic acid bites. it's baby nettle season here on the west coast. im not sure this year though. there has been cesium in our rain. i131 too green leafie veggies pick up radioactive particles. i have dried powdered nettle that go into coconut milk eggnogs.
I love nettles, used to harvest them every summer for years...the juice from the stem is the remedy for the sting. As a tonic tea excellent, full of minerals. Using the nettle sting is medicinal for arthritis...say, rubbing the affected area. Will raise the heartbeat tho.
I have made spanikopita triangles with nettles and filo pastry. No need for any added salt as there is plenty in feta cheese.
Since you clearly have an excess of nettles, might I suggest you cut the top 3 - 4 inches off the stem, places them in a large plastic bucket, add 1 Gal water, yeast & sugar and brew into a very acceptable table wine.
