Borage
is a culinary herb mostly popular in Central
Europe.
Its light cucumber fragrance is usually suitable
for salads prepared from raw vegetables. Some-times
borage is used to make pureed soups. |

| Boiling,
frying and simmering will quickly destroy
most of its characteristic fragrance.
Young flowers of borage can be pink and
become blue only in the course of their
individual flowering period. |

Borage is a favorite herb
for flavoring summer drinks, usually fruit and wine
cups. The blue and occasionally pink delicate flowers
are edible. The leaves can be eaten in salads and
the flowers added as decoration.
The blooms can also be candied. Watch
out for the thorny like leaves. Tender leaves and
star-shaped flowers have a very mild cucumber flavor.
The plant grows wild in Central and Eastern Europe. |
