Chives

Chives are a delicate herb with a mild, onion-like flavor that adds a fresh, herbaceous touch to a variety of dishes. Native to Eurasia, chives are a staple in French and European cuisine, often used as a garnish or seasoning for soups, salads, omelets, and cheese dishes. Their subtle, slightly pungent flavor complements a range of ingredients, making them a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire.

Culinary Uses

• Elevate your omelets, scrambles, and frittatas with a sprinkle of fresh chives, adding a burst of freshness and a delicate oniony flavor.
• Enhance the flavor of soups, stews, and sauces by incorporating chives into the cooking process or adding them as a garnish just before serving.
• Create a refreshing and vibrant herb butter by combining chopped chives with softened butter, perfect for spreading on bread, vegetables, or grilled meats.
• Infuse your salads with a touch of sophistication by sprinkling chopped chives over leafy greens, tomatoes, and cucumbers, enhancing their flavor and appearance.
• Garnish your cheese platters with a scattering of chives, adding a touch of elegance and a burst of freshness to your selection of cheeses.

Health Benefits

• Chives are a rich source of vitamins A and C, as well as minerals such as potassium, calcium, and iron.
• They contain antioxidants that may help protect against cell damage and reduce inflammation.
• Chives have been traditionally used to support respiratory health, aid in digestion, and boost the immune system.
• Some studies suggest that chives may have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral properties.

Storage

• Fresh chives can be stored in a glass of water on your kitchen counter for up to a week. You can also wrap the stems loosely in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator, where they will keep for up to two weeks.
• To freeze chives, snip the stems into small pieces, spread them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and freeze until solid. Then, transfer the frozen chives to a freezer-safe bag or container.
