About Chives

Chives are a flavorful herb belonging to the onion family, prized for their mild, onion-like taste and bright green color. Native to Europe and Asia, they are widely used in cuisines around the world, particularly French, Chinese, and Scandinavian dishes. Rich in nutrients, chives are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, offering immune system support, improved bone health, and antioxidant protection. They also contain small amounts of folate, calcium, and potassium, contributing to heart and overall health. Low in calories yet packed with flavor, chives are commonly added to soups, salads, omelets, and as a garnish for various dishes. Their sulfur compounds, which are responsible for the onion-like flavor, may also help support cardiovascular health. Chives are generally healthy, though consuming them in excess is unnecessary since small amounts provide sufficient benefits while enhancing culinary creations.
