Borage

Exotic name, familiar taste

Borage - Product photo

Borage may sound exotic, but the flower is also known as starflower. Borage flowers are edible. The taste is somewhat reminiscent of cucumber: nice and fresh. What is unique about borage is that both the flower and the (young) leaves are edible. The beautiful purple-blue flowers of edible borage are mostly used as a garnish.

The flowers have striking pointed petals, all around a white centre with a few stamens and black anthers. Borage is also said to have medicinal effects.
