My Chives have just emerged. I can not stop eating them raw as I am working outdoors.
I love chives raw, in salads,with potatoes, pasta or any other way I can find to use them.
I like making a slightly spicy Chive tea with the fresh sprouts. Chives are flavourful and nutrient rich and are thought to aid with digestion. One of the nicest features of Chives is that they are a perennial plant, returning every year and requiring little maintenance. You want to use the tender shoots fresh before the plant flowers. Chives are part of the allium family, flowering onions, and will produce a beautiful purple bloom that is also edible. These blooms make a lovely addition to salads or a garnish for whatever you would like.
