Borageflower

Borage flowers are the blooms of the borage herb. Borage arrived in Europe in the late Middles Ages. In folk medicine, the flowers are used to treat fevers or congestion of the airways.

The pretty, blue, star-shaped flowers are very attractive. They enhance the appearance of almost any dish, but look especially beautiful in salads.

Borage flowers can wilt in warm temperatures, so they should be kept in the fridge.
