Summary

Borage is a culinary herb that is noted for having a cucumber-like flavor. Plants have bristly or hairy stems and leaves. Plants bear edible small, blue flowers; flowers attract bees and butterflies. The mild cucumber flavor makes borage perfect for salads. Blue flowers are used as garnishes for drinks and desserts. Leaves can be used to flavor lemonades and can be steamed or sauteed. Borage is also grown for its oil seed and used for medicinal purposes.
