Chives are a mild member of the onion family. This herb has many uses and can be added to potato salad, baked potatoes, soups, salads, omelettes, dips and spreads, pastas and sauces.

Use it anywhere you want to add onion flavor without the harsh pungency of onion. Best if used fresh. The flavor is lost in drying. Add fresh or dried chives at the end of cooking to preserve the flavor.
