The dried borage flowers from the Azienda Agricola Cleopatra are a product dried under the sun of Sardinia using organic and natural methods, without the use of chemical substances and completely handcrafted.
Borage belongs to the Boraginaceae family and is a typically Mediterranean plant that grows up to 800-1000 meters in altitude. It has stems and leaves covered with rough hairs, five-petaled blue flowers, and small fruits filled with seeds.
Known as a natural remedy since ancient Rome, when it was referred to as the plant of good humor.
Borage flowers act as an expectorant due to the high presence of mucilages: the infusion helps against dry or productive coughs, and gargles are useful for relieving inflammation of the oral cavity. Additionally, they promote the elimination of toxins due to a slight diaphoretic effect.
The flowers are rich in estrogen, capable of activating the enzymes responsible for skin cell regeneration, keeping the skin hydrated and always youthful.
Its antidepressant effect has been known since antiquity: it helps in states of anguish and depression as it stimulates the adrenal glands and promotes adrenaline production.
The dried borage flowers from the Azienda Agricola Cleopatra can be used to enhance delicious culinary recipes. For example, they can be used to color and garnish dishes and to color vinegar, retaining their deep blue hue even after cooking. Great for flavoring salads, omelettes, and creamy soups, they can be added to stuffed pasta or included in the béchamel for vegetarian lasagna. They are often used as a decoration for first courses or side dishes and in cakes and other sweet preparations.
Frozen in cubes, they become an excellent decoration for summer drinks.
