Chives
A delicate member of the onion family, with a hint of garlic. Chives are a perennial plant, blooming with beautiful purple flowers from April/May to August. The leaves can be used all year round, snip with kitchen scissors or chop. Rich in vitamin A and C, calcium and iron. Chopped chives can go with nearly any dish whenever you want the flavor of onion without the bite. Great ingredient for fish and meat, rice, soups and salads, chicken or egg dishes, especially on baked potatoes. Add to biscuit mix, stir into cream cheese for a spread, into butter or sour cream.
In the fall, you can finely chop the chives and freeze them for the winter without much impairment to the taste.
