The borage plant, scientifically known as *Borago officinalis*, is a herbaceous plant native to the Mediterranean region. It features star-shaped blue flowers and hairy leaves, which are often used in culinary dishes and herbal remedies. Borage is known for its refreshing cucumber-like flavor and is commonly added to salads, drinks, and desserts. In addition to its culinary uses, the borage plant is valued for its medicinal properties. It contains gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an essential fatty acid that may help with inflammation and skin health. Borage is also used in traditional medicine for its potential benefits in treating respiratory and digestive issues.
