Borage is an edible herb which I have never heard of being used in cooking. It can be used in cooking, particularly with vegetables, especially cucumber. It is also often used in various beverages.

It’s very used over here also to make frittata and soups. However, I have to admit that I’ve never tried it... not yet, at least
 
Speaking of medical benefits of herbs, I was wondering if you have tried applying herbs to your skin/legs? Calendula, aloe vera, agave...and probably several more...many of them could be ok for a simple diy cream or lotion...like in the Robin Hood days:D
Edible flowers are another interesting topic, definitely...

I keep aloe vera gels in the medicine cabinet at all times. It is GREAT for sunburns, as well as itchy skin, and other skin irritations. We had aloe plants in the yard in Port Arthur (100 miles East of Houston). You could cut off a piece, and squeeze the gel out of it. I don't know if I could grow it here -- maybe as a potted plant.
