Using a litre of nettle tips may be better as mature leaves contain oxalic acid crystals and i dont know if the juicer would leave them behind.
Would you use nettles that have already started to produce seeds as they do around midsummer?
Jane: I don’t use flowering or seeding nettles. However I can generally find non flowering nettles right through the seasons, you just have to hunt for them. Try looking in shaded lanes and somesuch.
