Description Chives, Allium schoenoprasum, are the reed-like stems of a perennial, bulbous plant of the lily family. The name "Chives" is derived from the Latin cepa, meaning onion. Chives are a member of the onion family.
Uses Used in cold soups, stir-fried items, cheese and cream sauces, dips, potatoes, and as a garnish. Chives are popular in European and Chinese cuisines and in the seasoning blend fines herbes.
Origins Chives are native to China and Taiwan and are also sourced from California. Chinese chives characteristicially have wider and fatter stems than other varieties. Chives can be grown in all temperature regions of the world. Chives are also sold freeze-dried.
Folklore Chives have been used in many cuisines for over 5,000 years. The German word for Chives is Schnittlauch, which means "cuttable leek."
