I've only had it as tea. My Nonna makes it to help with fluid retention, like you say quite strong and a little bitter or something. But as soup with spuds, yummy. Will have to try it/ take care, Yollie :)FairyCastleFarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07458220860624023410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180454134721106426.post-76031337003739066392011-04-05T23:35:45.308+01:002011-04-05T23:35:45.308+01:00I've only seen sting nettles here.

We don't have any nettles on our property (plenty of other weeds though).<br />Last time I came across nettles I ended up itching and scratching for ages, but would definitely like to try the soup, stunning colour.<br /><br />Claire :}Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180454134721106426.post-76200853058512533192011-04-05T23:19:57.154+01:002011-04-05T23:19:57.154+01:00Hi Liz,
