BORAGE

Borage (Borago officinalis) is an large herb with hair stems and leaves. The whole plant has a cucumber odor and flavor. Use the young leaves in green salads, seafood salads fruit salads and even fruit drinks. The leaves may also be cooked and served as for spinach. The flowers may also be used in salads or candied and used to decorate pastries and cakes.

Borage leaves have been used to brew tea for hundreds of years. It was thought that when given to prospective husbands, it would give them the courage to propose. Borage was also favored by soldiers before a battle and travelers before a journey.
