There is a trick of how to handle the nettle without being stung.No nettle soup for me, thank you.#10, by IronEaters (08/31/2007)hmm..interesting. hope da itchiness has gone down =) Never heard of this plant and didn't know they can be eaten. but I have heard that we can eat/cook any types of leaves as long as they are not poisonous. have u tried nasi kerabu before?
