I recently found out you can eat nettles (the ones that sting you), and they actually taste nice.

lots of iron in them

Good source of potassium as well. Although you'd need to eat 1.25 kilo to reach 100% recommended daily intake.

is that 1.25kg raw or cooked down? because raw isn't actually that much, it'd cook down to like 2 micrograms following the law of leafy greens

I got the data from here and here, and I believe it's raw. So yeah, if you cook it down it's probably not too bad.
