Second Harvest : A Non-Prickled Nettle Along A Creek

Name :
Lamium purpureum
EN : Deadnettle, Lamium
FR : Lamier pourpre
DE : Taubnesseln
Trip :
Afoot
15 kilometers

Description :
As we decided to go through some forests to typical farming lakes, we started to cross a hill. On the upper side of the bank of a creek, near a wooden bridge, a little plant drew our attention. Looking like a nettle with leaves partially red on their top, this plant was doesn´t have prickles.
The young parts and fresh leaves are good in salads or stir-fried. The taste is not very strong.
