(Borago officinalis) A delightful annual herb known for its bushy growth and vibrant, edible bright blue flowers. This versatile plant serves as a magnet for bumble bee pollinators in garden plots.
With a growing period of 80 days, Borage offers a range of culinary and medicinal uses. The leaves, which impart a refreshing cucumber-like flavor, can be sparingly added to salads or used to flavor cool drinks. Additionally, the seeds contain over 20% GLA (gamma-Linolenic acid), making them a valuable source of nutrition.
