A quick word on springtime delicacies! Nettles are my favorite plant to forage for as spring shuffles greenly across Idaho. After nettles, I love to hunt for wild asparagus but we can talk more about that another time.
Nettles can be found along waterways, swamps, sloughs, ditches
I love to add nettle to everything in the springtime — soup, salads,
Nettles can also be brewed as a tea that reminds me a bit of raspberry leaf tea which is one of my favorite afternoon sips.
Are there any nettle experts out there? Tell us what you know!
