We had them in the woods, in Oregon. Better than spinach. Also fiddlehead ferns. Take a bag or basket and scissors, cut the tips of the nettles into that so you don't touch them. Although, handling them with gloves will break off the little poison spikes and make them safer before cooking.
Also try nettles, you cook it like spinach and you may also use it to create textile if they’re not tender anymore.
Yes! Just don't touch them (to harvest) with your bare hands lol. Voice of experience on that one.
