Chiltern Seeds say: "A delightful annual worth growing for the pretty blue flowers beloved by bees. The young tender leaves are used in salads and cooling drinks and the flowers (once thought to drive out melancholy) can be crystallized, or again added to drinks and salads"

2 Notes
I like the little blue flowers in ice cubes!
Nina,
Borage is a culinary herb mostly popular in Central Europe. Its light cucumber fragrance is mostly suited for salads prepared from raw vegetables; sometimes, borage is used to make puréed soups. Boiling, frying and simmering will, however, quickly destroy most of its characteristic fragrance.
