Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are a slender, aromatic herb having a milder flavor than onions or garlic. The plant grows on thin stems embellished by pretty purple blooms. The likes of Gordon Ramsey and Paula Dean make it a standard in their potager gardens! Besides the medicinal effects of being a heart-protecting antioxidant, it's also rich in Vitamins A, C, K, folate, and manganese! Bon appetite!

About Chives

Chives have had many uses other than a garnish on your fish! The Romans used it as a medicinal pain reliever for sunburns and sore throats! It was also an ingredient to increase blood pressure. Romani (an ethnic group from India) used it in fortune-telling and to ward off disease and evil in their homes. Additionally, Dutch dairy farmers in the 19th century flavored the milk by feeding the cattle this tasty herb.

Fun Facts: Chives make great...

Chives make great companion plants for vegetables or flowering plants, including carrots and roses. Carrot flies, aphids, and mites won't like the environment with chives nearby. It also repels Japanese beetles and blackspot (a fungal disease) on roses! If Peter Rabbit visits your garden frequently, then chives are an excellent repellent.
