Why aren't we eating this FREE SUPERFOOD?! + best Grilled Sandwich EVER 🍁👀 

Gaz I have been watching you since the beginning and have all your cookbooks. And have always thought you were were on the cutting edge of vegan food and teaching is not only about our food, but how to turn anything Vegan and importantly that it can be amazing, delicious and gourmet. But I have to say, you're moving to the country and seeing you connect with the natural world has moved you to a whole other level in my book. I am a true Vegan through and through and have always been aware of the natural world and it's benefits. And I am so thankful to see you bringing the natural world more authentically to your recipes and videos. I think this is the only real way we can truly appreciate our veganism and our connection to the earth and the plants. Your new approach is going to help a lot of people who would have no access to know about these natural resources. And inspire them to seek them out. I for one applaud you for your effort to connect us to the earth in a more holistic way through our food. Thank you so much for your gift that you so freely continue share with us. We love you!!!

Can we just talk about how relaxed and happy Gaz is in this video? No nervousness or uncomfortable line deliveries in the entire video. We love to see our vegan king in his natural habitat.

I’m absolutely loving where this channel is going omg

taking the 'vegans eat grass' stereotype to a whole new level loooool

Gaz is literally the best version of himself by being out in the country. Thought I’d miss London, nope. Congrats on this new chapter.

also, since I am now into my gardening, nettles are really good for keeping pests off your tomato plants, so grown tomatoes close by them ! thanks for watching, please subscribe & don't forget signed copies of my cook books & full written recipes are all on my website - avantgardevegan.com :) big love Gaz

I used to have very bad bronchitis. I once had pneumonia and it left scar tissue in my air passages. Whenever I got a simple cold after that, it would turn into bronchitis that would last for long, hard weeks. I was told by a member of the Black Hebrew community to make tea from stinging nettle and drink it three times a day with a bit of sweetener. She told me not to drink it later than early evening because it is a very powerful expectorant. In three days the bronchitis was gone - and never returned.

Stinging Nettle is a staple on Eastern European cuisine...I can remember all my childhood hunting it with my grandmas. we make everything from tea to delicious nettle paste-stew. yum

When I grew up my dad made us nettle soup or cooked nettles like it was spinach or put it in puree! He also used to make pancakes with dandelion in it - this was an old recipe passed on in our family for generations

My anxiety and stress go down just watching Gaz

I’m not vegan or vegetarian, however I love your channel. I’ve tried some of your recipes and they’re amazing. I love your passion and your willingness to think out of the box. Keep up the great work you’re doing.

We used it all the time in Spring back in Romania when we were children. My grandma used to make a nettle “risotto” and also a nettle soup/cream and used to eat it with horseradish. It was delish and naturally vegan as well 🤤🤤

That’s it, I’m going vegan!!

7:47 This pesto actually sounds incredible. Such a unique combination of flavours! And I love the addition of miso - will be definitely doing that from now on with all my pesto's!

This channel reallyy breaks my prejudices down for greeny things and herbs! Let's get some nettle tea

Last year during the lockdown in Summer I collected so much dried nettle seeds. They have so much protein like hemp seed. A nice nutty flavour and I like to sprinkle them over my porridge. So good!

Food that doesn't mean breeding, using, or killing our fellow animals = super to me 🙂

Southeastern Europe has been eating nettles for centuries. I grew up eating my grandma’s nettles soup with rice and going nettles picking in the woods in the springtime is still one of my fondest childhood memories.

This is a completely excellent video. Nettles and foraging, tea, delicious food, a corny joke that made me laugh out loud. Thanks ☺️🤘

When I was 8 (like 40 years ago) our schoolteacher got some from the school play ground and taught us how to make soup with it. Its lovely and I still make it;)

I eat a variety of weeds from my garden and hunt Stinging Nettle when it's in season!

Ok Gaz, stop it. It's 2am in my rural siberian home town and I'm holding myself back from going to find some nettle to cook and stuff my face with some kindda that sandwich. I wasn't hungry before but it looks too good.

Ive been taking Stinging Nettles for over a year and it has cured the seasonal allergies. Complete and immediate relief!

This is not the weirdest thing you will ever cook on your channel. It is just the beginning! It looks very tasty. I love nettles. One of the many things to forage. Mushrooms, ramps, fruit berries, etc. you have so much to look forward too. I eat and use nettles to help control my allergies. They really help!

I used nettles in your butterbean cannelloni recipe instead of spinach and it was fabulous!

The great poet-Saint as he is called, Milarepa, subsisted for a long time on nettles, while he was living in Himalayan caves. National “Be Nice to Nettles week” in the UK happens during my birthday week! or used to...I still want to grow a lot of them, and make nettle cloth, etc. Nettles also make vegetable rennet!!

the countryside is doing you guys good, everybody is so happy. I can feel Gaz 100% with his excitement about the nettles, when i went to the country and found out I can make the BEST applepie of my life WITH GREEN TOMATOES I was sold!! _everybody_ NEEDED to try the pie and then I told it like the biggest secret of the world ... "guess what THERE IS NO APPLE IN THIS APPLEPIE, BUT GREEN TOMATOES WOAHOO CABOOM CABOOM*" *fireworks. yeah. the countryside is awesome. it opens your mind for a whole different kind of ( and more pacient way of) cooking. so much more joy when you use your own veggies. season by season. Keep going Gaz&team. besitos de España! 💖✌🌸✌😍🌞🧚‍♀️🐣💃😘💖

Growing up in Albania my grandma used to make Pispili which looks like a pie. It has a cornflour layer and for the filling she uses a LOT of nettles, spinach and green onions. Ohhh I miss it so much! Thank you for your wonderful videos! ♥️

Sage leaves on the sandwich sounds fab!

Gaz's cooking 10/10......his acting when he falls of the skateboard 1/10

I absolutly agree nettle is a underrated superfood. It‘s so beneficial with people, like me, suffering from iron deficiency, and they are also good for the blood and our urinary tract. Nettle is amazing in many ways also that sandwich looks absolutely amazing! 🤤

It's not weird at all to me. Where I come from we use nettle for various things & dishes :)

We've been using this in our cooking for years (in India specially Himalayan region States), here it's called kandali or bichhu ghaas ( scorpion grass)

Really enjoyed this vid! The sandwich looked phenomenal! Made me miss the times I could eat gluten. Also nettle tea surprisingly has antihistamine effect, which is great to ease pollen allergies.

Water can dissolve more gas when it's cold, so if your soda water is cold then it will have more CO2 in it that will all suddenly get ejected when it heats up and aerate the batter. If it's warm then a lot of that gas will already have dissipated before you fry it.

Nettle tea is fantastic for pregnant as it has the perfect balance of calcium and Iron

In Italy, we make stinging nettle risotto and it is truly life changing!

İn the turkish kitchen we make something like a paste of nettle with garlic and olive oil, eat it warm with bread

Nettles remind you of seafood because their mineral content is so high! They smell and taste of seaweed which are similar. It's a good foraging tip, too, if you can smell them nearby they're ready to be harvested.

11:40 Gaz talking to the Welsh cows around.

That's why I drink nettle tea almost every evening :)

Mayor flashback moment: My mom used to make nettle tea every summer when I was little. It’s really refreshing when served cold. Really don’t know why we stopped making it…

Nettles are an abundant gift here in the PNW. I like them in smoothies and also soup; think spinach soup. I have made nettle pesto and nettle tea, but never nettle tempura; I have to try it. Nettles are best in the spring before they form seeds.Native Americans make baskets and cordage with the stalks. They are an amazing plant! Beautiful video!

»No, you have to eat off a stick, we’re outside!« 😂

cheffing up countryside campfire vegan dishes in Versace stunner shades is a vibe that gaz just invented lol. Banger of a vid as always

I love his story time. We are alike, we preface a story for so long that sometimes the punchline is lost 🤣🤣 Love ya Gaz!!!

here's why we moved to the countryside - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UEJ3wOsL-dI.html

Great. i Love Nettles.. In German we say: ›Wenn die Menschen wüssten, wie wertvoll die Brennnessel ist, dann wäre sie längst ausgerottet. - 'If people knew how valuable the stinging nettle is, it would have been eradicated long ago.

C’mon now. Get this guy on TV. The whole crew. Come. On. QUALITYYYYY CONTENT. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

going over the leaves with a rolling pin also gets rid of the sting! 😊

I love that you are incorporating phytonutrients in cooking and educating people so we can not only enjoy delicious but healing-healthy nutrition.

I’m loving this change omg it’s wonderful.

The water leftover fin boiling/ steaming nettles is super fabulous for a hair rinse

Do we think you've got a country cook book coming out in the future??👀👀 Yes please!!😍

Just when I thought this show couldn't get more sexy with all the new camera angles and edits, you go and take it outside and start cooking with wild foods. 🤤💚 I love the new content and direction, and so excited to watch this inspiring new adventure unfold!

Been following this channel for a few years, its taught me so much about cooking, and it keeps adapting and evolving into something more interesting :-) A hungarian friend taught me how to eat nettles as a kid, and I used to eat the tops to impress friends (tough gal), these recipes seem really fun to try out. Love this new angle, gaz, more in harmony with nature and with a sustainability focus. Keep creating banging recipes that we can feed to meat-eating family and friends to tempt them to move towards a more plant based way of life

I tried selling organic nettles in a wholefood shop, my co-workers thought i was mad lol, I had too many ideas ....they got rid of me

I love forageing! Now I challenge you to make 'honey' from dandelions!

0:05 Waiting for more weird but simultaneously amazingly crafted and perfectly balanced, flavourful meals Gaz! Especially in such a wonderful Welsh surroundings!

Stinging nettles are super high in silica and thus are excellent for skin hair teeth bones bones-far more beneficial than calcium. Source: Medical Medium

Bless indoor voice Ollie 🙏

I hope it's not the weirdest thing you will ever cook on your channel.I would love to see more vids & recipes of herbs & edible "weeds".& Foraged foods even mushrooms..etc ...I drink nettle tea..Ive eaten them only a couple of times steamed like spinach . delicious..full of iron...they grow where there is a lot of nitrogen in the soil.. especially where chickens have pooped.the sandwich looks delicious,I will definitely try this .thank you .💗🙏💗

My family has been making tea & tinctures with nettle for generations. I'm so glad others are learning of it's helpful properties.

Seeing you in your natural habitat makes me so happy! Best of luck to your future endeavors, Gaz and crew! 🌱☀️

In France we make nettle soup, it is delicious, very dark green and a "soft, delicate" taste

🌱I love that you're cooking outside 🌻 so vitalizing to watch.

Loving these vibes!!

Yess!! Love that you're sharing all this knowledge on here! It's so important we all learn about all of this healing food, right on our doorstep!!

We have a patch of garden away from our dogs where the nettles grow like mad! I guess it's harvest time!

I hope this activity become the future human living...become origin and nature human being...save this planet...! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I love to make a nettle and wild garlic soup, foraged from the woods next to our house!

Thanks for the laughs! You're making my day.

Glad to see you getting into di herbs. Life force extended💥. One Love 💚🌿

Nettle soup is 😍😍, also nettle falafel or pakora is amazing, 👌

Love that you are out in the Welsh countryside, cooking up your amazing magical foods over an open fire!

Everytime I watch one of your videos (in particular the most recent uploads) my soul feels so warm and content 💖🧚🏻‍♀️

I am from the Indian Himalayas and this is known as bhichu booti(scorpion herb) and we use it to make sabzi(vegetable dish) and chutney

There’s also fabric made from Nettle that can be biodegraded after the lifecycle of the clothing

I make nettle soup every spring and fill my freezer, it's almost free food and DOO good for us. I love the stuff.

I live in SF, Cali; and am LIVING for this nature/countryside content. It speaks to the part of my soul that longs for more nature!

Made a Pesto a few weeks ago with a bunch of different herbs from the forest, including nettles. Turned out very good and its such a plesant flavor. Great Video

the foodie joke was straight up fire, kinda underappreciated by your cameraman :D

Another level! Love your new ideas!!!!

Gaz this is great - you are taking us along on your next new adventure/phase in your life. Kind of a getting back to the earth situation. You mentioned you would like to grow your own garden - really looking forward to your upcoming videos and recipes!

Some of us in russia still using it in our spring-summer meals. This year I actually cooked so called green borshch with nettle for the first time. Wander why I didn't use it earlier. Need to pick and freeze some for winter season.

My grandpa makes soup with it😋

Luv, luv the new format ❤️

I absolutely LOVE this video style! It's so enjoyable to watch! 🥰

I remember having nettle leaves as a child and my mom and dad use to make a delicious soup out of it and I just love it😍
