What can the herb borrage be used for?????

I bought the seeds from a local garden centre. I knew what they were and how to grow them but the serving suggestion on the back was boring. I cant seem to get any interesting results on the search engines either. Please can you help me out???





Thankyou!!!!!!!!!!!

What can the herb borrage be used for?????
I think it is primarily just an edible plant. The leaves taste like mild cucumber and the flowers are edible, too, and can be used as a garnish and brewed for tea. The plant has some medicinal qualities, but I can't remember what they are.





It's also kinda pretty--an interesting plant.
Reply:You can put the flowers into ice cube tray, and make ice cubes with the decorative flowers inside. Flowers can also be used in salads. The leaves are rather hairy. I have also made ice bowls. One large bowl, another smaller bowl put inside. Then between the two place varies herbs and herb flowers add water and freeze. Once frozen remove both bowls, can use it to serve a dessert or salad. It will slowly melt, but makes an unusual center piece.
Reply:Try these links. You will have to scroll down some of the pages to find borage.





The last link is for a "toner" recipe using borage.





Have fun...hope you find this useful :)
Reply:Only know the young leaves can be used in soups and salads, the flowers (sparingly) in salads and to decorate desserts.
