Chives

What would an ordinary baked potato be without a generous helping of Chives sprinkled on top? In addition to potato recipes, Chives can be used in a variety of savory dishes. Our Chives come to us directly from our supplier in Taiwan, and then are processed in house to bring you the finest quality dried Chives.

The botanical name for this fabulous herb is Allium schoenoprasum, and like other Alliums, the plant has an onion-like flavor and scent. Pan-fried or grilled fish, in addition to smoked salmon or tilapia, can have a jolt of taste added by the simple addition of a butter sauce to which the herb has been added. It can be added to biscuit batter for a piquant flavor. Chicken benefits from this zesty herb, as does a fresh tomato salad with a veined blue cheese. Tartar sauce sings when this onion relative is added, as do chickpea salads.
