I recently found out you can eat nettles (the ones that sting you), and they actually taste nice.
lots of iron in them

Nettle and potato soup is delicious.

Good source of potassium as well. Although you’d need to eat 1.25 kilo to reach 100% recommended daily intake.

What’s the definition of “good source” employed here?
RedSnt@feddit.dk 15 hours ago
I’m basing it on spinach which stinging nettles is only 25% worse than on potassium levels. I think a baked potato might be twice as good though, but I think I’d rather try and eat 1.25 kg of stinging needles in a day than 625 gr of baked potato.

I don’t think most people even consume 1.25kg of food in total per day. It seems implausible that one would have to supplement with a substantial quantity of 0 calorie greens just to get enough of a common and essential mineral. Which makes me think that the K content is average at best and rather less than common food stuffs.

They make a nice tea.
