Borage leaves, with their strikingly vibrant green color and slightly fuzzy texture, offer a unique culinary experience. The leaves have a mild, cucumber-like flavor that adds a refreshing touch to dishes. When young and tender, the tips are particularly prized for their delicate taste and vibrant appearance.
In the kitchen, borage leaf tips can be used in various ways: they can be finely chopped and added to salads for a burst of color and a subtle crunch, or blended into herbaceous pesto for a refreshing twist. They also pair well with light soups and can be used as a garnish for cocktails, lending a visual appeal along with their gentle flavor.
