Borage – (Borago officinalis) is a common annual of the family Boraginaceae, native to the Eastern Mediterranean region and cultivated all over Europe, Great Britain and North America. Also known as Starflower, it grows up to 2 feet tall, with fuzzy stems and leaves topped with star-shaped droopy flowers.
The flowers and leaves have a mild, pleasant scent and flavor somewhat reminiscent of cucumbers. They are often used in salads, cooked as a vegetable or dried to use as seasoning or tea. Borage has a long history with herbalists as a medicine for the heart and spirit going all the way back to ancient Rome. At that time, Pliny the Elder often used it for the down and disheartened to inspire courage and give comfort. Other early folklore states that Borage could be placed in the hand of a potential mate to give him the courage to propose! For those of us in the modern world, dried Borage leaves can also make a lovely, mild-flavored tea to calm the mind and lift the spirits!
