Like its cousins, onion, leeks and garlic, chives is a bulbous perennial herb in the amaryllis family and is the smallest member of the onion genus. Also known as rush leeks, the cultivation of chives as food dates to ancient Rome. In terms of culinary appeal, the flavor of chives is considerably milder than onion or garlic. The herb is used fresh or dried (as well as the flowers) to flavor vinegars, often in combination with other herbs. Dried chives are excellent additions to soups and salads, as well as dips, soft cheeses and herbal butters. As an added bonus, chives is a good source of vitamin C.
Chives have a vibrant color and texture with delicate taste. Their subtle onion flavor is well suited to savory dishes and recipes where the bite of onions or garlic would be overpowering. Pairs well with basil, cilantro, fennel, paprika, and tarragon.
