Chive

Chives are a type of herb that belong to the onion family. They are known for their mild onion-like flavour and vibrant green colour. Chives are commonly used to add a fresh and slightly pungent taste to dishes. These slender green stalks are harvested from the chive plant, which is a perennial herb that grows in clumps.

Chives are typically grown in gardens or farms. They are harvested by cutting the long, thin stems from the plant. These chopped stems are then used fresh in various dishes such as salads, soups, dips, and as a garnish. Chives can also be dried or frozen for later use, though they are most commonly enjoyed fresh for their delicate flavour and aroma.

Chives are added to food for their savoury and slightly sharp taste. They are often used to enhance the flavour of dishes like omelettes, baked potatoes, pasta, and sauces. The herb is commonly found in products like flavoured cream cheeses, salad dressings, and potato chips. Chives can also be sprinkled on top of dishes just before serving to add a fresh burst of flavour and a pop of colour.
