Information for chives in our free cooking ingredients collection.
A member of the onion family, chives have long, slender, hollow green stems and are usually sold in bundles. The mellow, delicate onion flavor of chives is useful for sauces, soups, baked potatoes, salads, omelets, pasta, seafood, and meat. They are also commonly used as a garnish. In addition, their lightpurple flowers are edible. Use fresh chives when possible because dried chives have little flavor. Chives can lose flavor when cooked too long.
