What is Borage?
Borage is a annual plant native to Spain. The plant has green "hairy" leaves and pretty star shaped purple flowers. The leaves have a faint smell of cucumber. The leaves can be added to drinks but mostly the flowers are used in salads or candied and used for dessert decorations. We like to put borage flowers atop our carrot leek soup for a striking presentation.
Substitute for Borage
Burnet, spinach leaves, escarole
