that's rad! i love the way you put it into scientific terms my nerd brain can relate to. i have loved the nettles for a while now, but i wonder if maybe there is more to my love for them than i even realized (auto-immune stuff runs in my family, and i am seeing signs of maybe early arthritis or something along those lines in myself… time to go do some harvesting!)
From one nerd brain to another, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! They are really good for arthritis too, which I didn't go into as much in this article, but just the topical action of picking them will be therapeutic for your hands, not to mention drinking nettle tea. I have found that nettles especially love growing in the coast range, so you are in the perfect area to harvest a haul!
