Micro borage has an exciting micro-hair texture and a cucumber-watermelon rind flavor, making it the perfect addition to fruity summer cocktails. Aside from tasting incredible, borage is packed full of Vitamins B, C, and K, folic acid, and fiber. It is also commonly used in traditional home medicine to treat fevers, coughs, and chest congestion!
