Alessandra, you mention some culinary uses, its also an important element in that curiosity we drink known as a Pimms No 1 cup - a leaf or two are added for flavour after the other rabbit food items and the gin!
As a natural liqiud fertilizer of course its unsurpassed. We take a large cut bundle, tie it around with string and suspend that in a barrel of water. In ten days you have a very powerful high nitrogen liquid feed.

Subject: Borage use as a culinary herb

Talking about borage... in my country garden it is endemic, and happily spreads everywhere (and is welcome everywhere!) so I've taken to use it in the kitchen. The flowers, easily deprived of the hairy bracts, have a fresh taste of cucumber, and give an excellent flavour to spring salads. And, the young leaves, boiled and cut into small pieces, can be either tasted simply with a drerssing of olive oil, or added with spinach and other herbs used to infill some home made pastas or pies. Any other use? Helene?
