About Our Company

What is Gul e Gaozaban?

Gul e Gaozaban, commonly referred to as dried Borage flower, is a delicate herb prized both in traditional medicine and culinary uses. The flowers of the borage plant (Borago officinalis) are carefully harvested and dried to preserve their fine blue-purple petals and potent beneficial properties.

Known for its pleasant mildly cucumber-like aroma and subtle floral taste, dried Borage flowers are a valued ingredient in teas, infusions, health supplements, and natural remedies.

Common Varieties and Grades

Dried Borage flowers are generally graded based on the purity, color intensity, petal size, and absence of stems or seeds. Premium Persian Gul e Gaozaban is characterized by:

• Full intact petals with rich vibrant blue to purple hues.
• Minimal stems or foreign matter ensuring a clean, premium grade.
• Dried naturally under controlled conditions to retain maximum aroma and active components.

These qualities guarantee superior performance whether used in premium herbal teas, traditional medicines, or cosmetic formulations.

Typical Characteristics and Nutritional Properties

Borage flowers contain a range of bioactive compounds including flavonoids, antioxidants, mucilage, and trace minerals. These elements contribute to the flower's anti-inflammatory, soothing, and diuretic properties. Nutritionally, dried borage provides low calories but is rich in vitamins such as vitamin C and trace elements beneficial for wellness.

The flowers’ soothing properties make them particularly popular in herbal medicine for promoting respiratory health, calming digestion, and supporting skin care.

Harvesting and Production Process

The production of premium Persian dried Borage flowers begins with handpicking the blossoms at peak bloom early in the morning when their oil content and aroma are highest. Careful drying is conducted either by air drying in shaded, ventilated environments or through low-temperature dehydrators to maintain color and phytochemical activity.

Following drying, the flowers are sorted meticulously to remove stems and impurities, packaged under hygienic conditions to preserve quality and freshness during transportation and export.
