BORAGE

Borage, called sandpaper in the produce trade because of its hairy green leaf, is a seldom used salad item and probably isn't offered for sale in your local market unless you live in an Italian neighborhood. Because it is quite aromatic, it is used to flavor salads and other cooked vegetables. In some parts of Europe borage is brewed as an herbal tea, added to season soups and is used for medicinal purposes.
