Chives

Chives

Allium schoenoprasum

Due to the main nature of the uses of Chives, we refer to them as an herb. They are in fact more closely related to the onion, leek and garlic family. Chives are very easy to grow and maintain. You simply cut off what you need and they continue to grow. They will die back in winter and be one of the first greens to peek out in spring. Used as a garnish, for flavoring for dips and sauces, in omelettes, fish and poultry dishes....a very versatile herb indeed.
