ITALIAN BUGLOS
TUT AND CAWSLI
Buglos doesn’t seem a nice enough name for these pretty perennials from the Boraginaceae Family, loved so much by bees. They grow wild by the roadside and in some countries are considered weeds. Bothe the flowers and leaves are edible and indeed in Greece, they also eat the stems.
This duo may sound like stage names, and these beauties really are stars. Black and white mulberries to common folk, get them before the birds do and before their very short season ends. They make a wonderful granita!
