At Home Farm Herbery Borage (Borago officinalis), also known
as a starflower, is an annual herb. It is native to the Mediterranean region
and has naturalized in many other locales. It grows satisfactorily in most
gardens. Borage production does include use as either a fresh vegetable or a
dried herb.

As a fresh vegetable, borage, with a cucumber like taste, is
often used in salads or as a garnish. The flower, which contains the non-toxic
pyrrolizidine alkaloid thesinine, has a sweet honey-like taste and is one of
the few truly blue-colored edible substances, is often used to decorate
desserts.  The leaves, and to a lesser
extent the flowers, are demulcent, diaphoretic, depurative, mildly diuretic,
emollient, expectorant, febrifuge, lenitive and mildly.
