Its German alternative name says it all about its flavor: cucumber herb. Anyone who rubs a young leaf between their fingers and tastes it will detect a hint of fresh cucumber with a salty note \u2013 astonishing, because botanically, there is no relation whatsoever.<\/p>\n<p>The plant is an annual self-seeder: once established in the garden, it returns on its own every year. It grows to knee- to hip-high, is covered all over with stiff bristles \u2013 hence the family name Boraginaceae (borage family) \u2013 and bears its five-pointed, star-shaped flowers from May until autumn. These flowers open a vibrant sky blue and change color to pink or violet with age, due to a shift in the pH level within the flower tissue. Borage is one of the most productive nectar-producing plants for bees and bumblebees; beekeepers sow it intentionally, and the light, mild borage honey is well-known in England.<\/p>\n<p>Culinary-wise, it has a firm place, especially in the <strong>Frankfurt Green Sauce<\/strong>, where it is one of the seven prescribed herbs \u2013 alongside parsley, chives, chervil, cress, salad burnet, and sorrel. In Liguria, it is used to fill <em>borage<\/em> Ravioli, in Spain they are <em>borraja<\/em> In Aragon, borage is cooked as a vegetable in its own right, and in England, the blue flower traditionally floats in Pimm&#039;s. Today, borage is primarily cultivated not for cooking, but for its seeds: these are pressed to produce borage seed oil, one of the richest plant sources of gamma-linolenic acid.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"nutzen\">\n<h2><span>To use<\/span>What borage does for you - and what it doesn&#039;t<\/h2>\n<p class=\"ea-drop\">Here you have to clearly separate two things, otherwise it will go wrong. <strong>herb<\/strong> Borage leaves and flowers are a culinary herb with a long history in folk medicine: diaphoretic, diuretic, &quot;blood purifying,&quot; and mood-enhancing. There are no reliable clinical studies to support any of these claims, only tradition. And there is a very specific reason why modern assessments remain cautious: borage contains <strong>Pyrrolizidine alkaloids<\/strong> (PA), a group of substances that can damage the liver in larger quantities and over a long period. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment therefore explicitly advises against consuming borage leaves regularly or even as tea.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>seed oil<\/strong> Borage oil is a completely different matter. It contains around 20 percent gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) \u2013 more than evening primrose or hemp oil \u2013 and is refined, which removes the pyrrolizidine alkaloids; reputable suppliers declare it as PA-free or low in PA. GLA is an omega-6 fatty acid from which the body produces anti-inflammatory messenger substances. That sounds promising, and it&#039;s well-documented in the lab. However, the picture is less clear in humans: A large Cochrane review on atopic dermatitis in 2013 concluded that borage and evening primrose oil, when taken orally, are no more effective than a placebo. For rheumatoid arthritis, there are small studies with positive signals, but no large enough data to support a recommendation.<\/p>\n<p>Frankly, borage is primarily one thing: an excellent, seasonal culinary herb with a distinctive cucumber flavor and a flower that enhances any dish. Those who treat it this way\u2014fresh, raw, in manageable quantities, for a few weeks each year\u2014utilize its full potential and avoid its problematic aspects. And those seeking gamma-linolenic acid should opt for the seed oil, knowing that it&#039;s a lab-tested value, not a guaranteed health benefit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ea-zahlen\">\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>1 of 7<\/b><span>Herbs of Frankfurt Green Sauce<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>20 %<\/b><span>Gamma-linolenic acid in seed oil - more than evening primrose oil<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>No tea<\/b><span>The BfR explicitly advises against it because of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ea-zahl\"><b>Blue \u2192 Pink<\/b><span>The flower changes color during its lifetime<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"inhalt\">\n<h2><span>Ingredients<\/span>This is what&#039;s in borage<\/h2>\n<p>The cucumber flavor of the leaves comes from <strong>Mucilage, silica, potassium and nitrate salts<\/strong> That&#039;s why borage has a slightly salty taste. It also contains tannins, rosmarinic acid, and a good amount of silica, which the plant needs for its bristles.<\/p>\n<p>The material that determines the assessment is the <strong>Pyrrolizidine alkaloids<\/strong>Borage contains primarily lycopsamine, intermedin, amabilin, and supinin, predominantly in the leaves and significantly less in the flowers. The content varies considerably depending on the variety, location, and harvest time, making it difficult to define a reliable &quot;safe amount.&quot; The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) therefore works with a conservative guideline for daily intake from all sources and advises caution with borage leaves\u2014especially for children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. It&#039;s important to put this into perspective: A serving of green sauce in spring is no cause for concern; however, drinking a cup of borage tea daily for several months would be.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>seeds<\/strong> Borage oil contains 28 to 38 percent oil, and this oil consists of approximately one-fifth gamma-linolenic acid, along with linoleic acid, oleic acid, and smaller amounts of erucic acid. Cold-pressed, unrefined borage oil may contain residual amounts of pyrrolizidine alkaloids \u2013 when purchasing supplements, look for the label &quot;PA-free&quot; or &quot;tested low in PA.&quot;.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ea-k\" id=\"kombi\">\n<h2><span>Enhanced combinations<\/span>What makes borage stronger<\/h2>\n<p>Borage is a fresh herb.
