Chives is the common name of Allium schoenoprasum, an edible species of the Allium genus.
A perennial plant, it is widespread in nature across much of Europe, Asia, and North America.[1]
Uses
- Chives are grown for their scapes, which are used for culinary purposes as a flavoring herb, and provide a somewhat milder flavor than those of other Allium species.
- Chives are also rich in vitamins A and C, contain trace amounts of sulfur, and are rich in calcium and iron.
