I love wild food and will make a nettle seed salt mixed with bull kelp powder instead of salt and then sprinkle it on my salads and rice. We harvest the wild seaweed in BC Canada from our business called BC KELP. www.bckelp.com Louise Hi, great site!

I cohost a foraging recipe challenge called Wild Things. We like to encourage people to get out there and forage, and then cook and make medicine from forage. The featured herb for the month of June is nettle. I'd really like to include your recipe, as it is so unusual, using nettle seed. If you'd like to participate, could you please email a link to this page to wildthings.roundup@gmail.com ? Hi there. I cohost a foraging recipe challenge called Wild Things.

Also, do I need to remove the prickly outside part of the seed. I read they can be very itchy and need to be handled with gloves. hi,

I wouldn't have applied the term "gritty" to nettle seed on porridge. You can taste them and they add texture to the porridge, but nothing to catch in your teeth and make you wince as a piece of grit that you have to remove might. I shall try grinding them beforehand next time I use them and report back. Hi Rebecca – sorry it’s taken me a while to answer your question.

Question: Does a fresh nettle seed tincture have the same type of affect as eating the dried seeds in the seed salt? (support for people with deep fatigue, etc..) If so, that sounds very intriguing. Do you tincture with alcohol? If so, what type? I love to eat my medicine whenever possible, but sometimes it is easier to put a couple of drops of tincture sub-lingually (spelling?) for quicker absorption. Thanks for the fresh ideas! I'm a fan. ;) Hello again. :)
