Chives

Buying Tips

Chives can be found in the produce section of most health food stores, specialty markets, and supermarkets. They’re also available dried, but the fresh variety is far preferable. Look for those with a uniform, glossy appearance and bright green color, with no signs of browning.

Varieties

Chives are a type of onion.

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Rinse fresh chives in cold water just before using. Snip fresh chives into omelettes or soups, add them to cheese or tofu spreads, or toss the flowers into salads. Add fresh chives toward the end of cooking time to retain their flavor and keep them from turning bitter.

Storing

Use chives as soon as possible, or store them in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to a week.
