About Yellow chives

Yellow chives, also known as garlic chives or Allium tuberosum, are a versatile vegetable commonly used in East Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese and Korean dishes. Unlike their green counterparts, yellow chives are grown in darkness, which gives them their pale, golden color and milder, more delicate garlic-like flavor. These chives are rich in vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants that support immune health and skin vitality. They contain dietary fiber, aiding digestion, while also being low in calories and fat, making them a healthy addition to meals. Yellow chives are often stir-fried, added to soups, or used as a garnish to enhance flavor and nutrition without overpowering a dish. However, excessive consumption may lead to mild gastrointestinal discomfort for some individuals. Their subtle taste and health benefits make yellow chives a prized ingredient in many flavorful and balanced recipes.
