Foraging UK - Stinging Nettle (Urtica Dioica)

Today we're taking a look at Common Stinging Nettles - a plant that has many different edible parts and different flavours throughout the season. Starting with fresh spring growth of the leaves and then moving on to the seeds and later in the year to stock and cordial with the older stalks.

We'll be diving into the identification of Stinging Nettles to make sure we're correctly identifying them, we'll also take a look at the lookalike which is dead nettles (although they too are edible so nothing to panic about)

During the session, we'll have a think about plenty of different ways we can eat and enjoy Stinging Nettles from sweet to savoury dishes.
