 Annual herb seeds. Used both as an herb and vegetable, borage is high in GLA, an Omega 6 fatty acid. Having many used in traditional herbal medicine, the leaves and flowers are edible. The blue flowers make a summer treat frozen into ice cubes. Bees and other beneficial insects love it. Large plants bear hundreds of small, edible flowers with a mild cucumber flavor that is excellent in salads and as garnish. Long harvest period.
