Borage emulsion
Borage Cress, also known as cucumber herb, provides a wonderfully fresh and powerful cucumber aroma. It is absolutely perfect for creating an emulsion.
Cresses are freshly sprouted plants of 100% natural, aromatic plants. They offer an intensity of flavor and aroma that only occurs in young plants. As a chef you can use Cress to intensify the taste, smell and presentation of your dishes. And the possibilities go far beyond just garnishing, as this component demonstrates.
