Nettle

Translated by deepl.com

Another important activity in Mont-devant-Sassey has long been the gathering and processing of nettles: they were cooked as soups or spinach, used to make wine, shampoo, slurry or rope, and were even used to make cloth for the German trenches during the 1914-1918 war.

Even today, nettles are used to make paper pulp for bank notes… which may explain why money burns our fingers!
