Chives

Chives are the mildest of the onion family. They are generally added to dishes just before serving. They make the ideal contrast to pale creamy dishes like vichyssoise soup & scambled eggs. They are members of the alium family which includes garlic, scallions, leeks & onions. Add a sprinkle of chives to a potato dish, soup, stew, pasta or salad for a simple way to do something good for your health.
What's good about chives:
  • They have anti-inflammatory & antiseptic properties (the romans believed they relieved a sore throat).
  • Chives may help improve food digestion as they work by getting rid of bacteria, yeast & fungi from the intestinal tract so the digestive system works as it should
