Borago officinalis seed is borage seed, supplied whole or processed as material for seed-derived products.
About Borago officinalis seed
Borago officinalis seed is the seed of the plant identified by that botanical name, commonly known as borage. This record specifies the seed rather than the leaves or flowers, but does not say whether it is whole, ground, pressed, or otherwise processed. Its appearance and handling therefore depend on the form supplied.
Borage seeds may be encountered as a seed ingredient or as material used to produce seed-derived products such as oil. The catalogue name does not establish that the item is oil or identify a particular preparation. Nutrition comparisons should match the whole seed or derived product, edible portion, and processing state; seed and seed oil are not equivalent forms.
