Their tender leaves wilt beautifully when cooked, releasing their vibrant green hue and adding visual appeal to every bowl.
Nettles also shine in stir-fries, sautés, and even omelets. Simply blanch them briefly to neutralize their sting, then toss them into your favorite dishes for a burst of freshness and nutrition.
