Bit like spinach I think...rich in iron and stuff. My miniature shetlands love them cut and left to wilt in the field.

Rich in minerals from what I remember and also quite cleansing as I have some nettle herbal tea for me. My native cross spends a lot of time when nettles wilt in the autumn eating them, also clivers over the summer and thistles, bramble leaves, I think they know what's good for them and what they need in terms of vits and mins at specific times of year.
