The ultimate caveman diet pick your own stinging nettles. They are nutritious and delicious, tasting something like a cross between spinach and kale. If you were at the newbie meetup on March 31st you probably tried some in the roasted, curried sweet potatoes with onions and nettles.
We'll hike into Clark's Creek Park in Puyallup to gather nettles and then come back to our house to learn how to prep and cook with them.
They do sting while you're picking them so you will want gloves and some small scissors. Kid's safety scissors work great. You will want long sleeves and long pants, too.
To learn more about nettles, just do a quick web search. They are high in protein and minerals and are known for their health benefits.
