Nettles (Urtica dioca) are a deeply nourishing food, containing high levels of vitamins C, A, calcium and potassium. It's deep rich green color hints at the abundance of chlorophyll it possesses. I have it planted in the yard so I gathered some, steamed it and added it to a soup base. I don't remember the exact recipe but I'm sure you can come up with your own. This soup was so rich and satisfying. Wild food.
