Never had these before, does it have a strong flavor? Great idea, I was actually just researching forage in my region for fun, may see if anything tasty grows nearby

Nettles are one of the easiest wild foods to start with. They have a very pleasant flavor. Wear gloves, steam for 3 minutes to remove the stinging acid and tenderize the leaves.

Where abouts do you live? I wonder if nettles are growing yet where I am

I'm in the Pacific Northwest. Stinging nettles are in their optimal point for harvest. Around 2 feet tall or shorter.
