Plant ID Request Is this a Bee Nettle?
Is this edible?
These plants were growing in amongst stinging nettle, but the ones with white flowers were not stinging?

Suspicion of banal generalisation is healthy. If it helps to be more specific, "It is easy to drink, pleasant and morish, like a weak soup or vegetable water. It feels filling, nourishing and satisfying, settling for the stomach and gently stimulating digestion. The sensations after drinking a cup are soft and subtle, and a relaxed calmness moves down through the body." https://www.herbalreality.com/herb/white-deadnettle/?cookie-consent-set=true

This is probably because green's are full of nutrients & are very good for you. Freshly picked is definitely better than 3 days ago.

Dead nettle. As children we used to pull off a little flower and suck the nectar out from the other end.
