Did you know?
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are native to Europe, Asia, and North America.
They have been used for culinary and medicinal purposes for thousands of years, often to aid digestion and boost flavor.
Chives contain sulfur compounds similar to garlic and onions, which may support heart health.
There are different types of chives, including common chives, garlic chives, and Chinese chives, each with slightly different flavors and culinary uses.
Chives are perennial plants that can bloom with purple flowers, which are also edible.
Drawback

Contains sulfur compounds that may cause digestive discomfort for some people.
Perishable, so fresh chives need to be refrigerated and used quickly.
