Ooh, that's handy, I have a crop sprouting in the garden... I will give it a try - without stinging myself if I can, stingy nettle stings hurt me for days 
Thanks.
Thanks.

THEY LOVE IT!!!!!!!! I dry some for mine
silly question, but how do you dry them? Do you just leave them out on the side? or do you have to put them somewhere?

Honestly? I don't know :roll: I just randomly turn it on probably to 180 but as I burnt them so fast they'll probably dry from even 100
I suppose the faster you want them (or the blacker you want them ) the higher it goes haha. Don't forget to wear thick gloves I used our old oven gloves last time as I got stung through the gardening ones :lol:

Proof!
My Suzi eating nettles. I brought some home in this box to make some nettle soup and before I knew it she was in there nomm-nomming away. These nettles were still stinging my fingers but she had no problem eating them. Once you've picked them I found that they do dry out naturally.
I wouldn't bother with the nettle soup by the way unless you add loads of other yummy veggies.

I think nettles contain allergens which means they are only effective against certain species skin types e.g. humans. Could be wrong though.
