It is Spring and we have plenty of nettles growing now. Nettles really make a nutrient dense soup because they are so packed with minerals and nutrients. They are alkalizing which helps keep the blood clean and healthy. When harvesting nettles it is best to wear some gloves to protect you from the stingers especially if you are a novice. If you do not be open to being stung!
