Easy to grow, borage often reseeds itself.
In cooking, the cucumber-flavored leaves and fleshy stems can be added to salads, or cooked like spinach and served as a side vegetable. Fresh flowers are added to salads or used as a garnish. They can also be candied to decorate cakes or used to flavor syrups.
Recent studies have also shown that the seeds contain unsaturated fatty acids, omega 6: linoleic acids (35 to 40%) and gamma-linolenic acids (15 to 25%). These are elements that our body struggles to synthesize as we age.
The plant can cause skin irritation and some people may be allergic to borage. Its name comes from the Arabic abu rach I "father of sweat", referring to the plant's sudorific properties.
Days to harvest: 50 to 60
Packet of 60 seeds
