What is Borage Oil?
Borage Oil is oil from the seed of the Borage plant, containing up to 24% GLA… Borage, also known as Starflower, is a shrubby garden herb. The Borage plant has a long history of use in salads, soups, and drinks. It was also grown for the sake of its flowers, which yield excellent honey. According to Mrs. M. Grieve’s “Modern Herbal”, first published in 1931, cooks of the 19th century preserved the flowers and candied them. Today, the plant is grown as a commercial crop and harvested for the seed, which is nature’s richest source of the fatty acid GLA. Oil produced from Borage seed contains between 20 and 24% GLA.
