The blue, star-shaped flowers of borage (Borago officinalis), also known as starflower, have a cool, cucumber-like flavor that enlivens a salad or a sauce. Legend has it that Celtic warriors drank a glass or two of borage wine before battle to increase their courage. Indeed, researchers have found that borage stimulates the production of adrenaline. Nowadays, some herbalists prescribe infusions of borage flowers as a diuretic, or to relieve fever and bronchitis, among other ailments. In the Middle East, borage is distilled into a fragrant water. The exuberant plant grows into graceful bushes that often bear sky-blue blossoms alongside bright pink ones, all on the same stem. Borage blossoms' color and flavor complement raita, a yogurt-based condiment common in Indian cuisines.
