Common Name: Chives
English Name: Garden Chives
Hindi Name: Hari Pyaz
Ayurvedic Name: Chives
Also Known As: Allium Schoenoprasum, Chive Leaves, Dried Chives, Chive Herb, Chives C/S
Part Used: Leaves of Allium schoenoprasum
Description: Chives are the dried leaves of Allium schoenoprasum, a perennial herb native to Europe and Asia, now widely cultivated in temperate regions worldwide. The plant grows in slender, hollow, grass-like leaves, typically in clumps, with small purple or lavender flowers that appear in the flowering season. Leaves are harvested during the vegetative stage, when the foliage is tender, vibrant green, and at peak flavour.
After harvesting, the chive leaves are cleaned to remove soil, debris, and any unwanted stems. The leaves are then carefully dried using controlled air or low-temperature methods to preserve their natural green colour, texture, and aromatic qualities. Once dried, the leaves are cut and sifted to produce a uniform product suitable for storage, handling, and incorporation into various applications.
The cut and sifted chives maintain their natural leafy structure, bright green colour, and characteristic mild onion-like aroma. The processed form is lightweight, visually consistent, and easy to measure, blend, or store. It provides a stable, high-quality ingredient that preserves the botanical identity of the herb.
Uses: Chives are primarily used as a culinary herb to add mild onion flavour, colour, and visual appeal to soups, salads, sauces, egg dishes, and potato preparations. They are also incorporated into seasoning blends, dry herb mixes, and culinary garnishes. Beyond food, chives can be used in botanical craft projects, educational herb kits, and decorative displays where dried leafy material is required for texture, colour, or visual appeal.
Storage: Keep them in an airtight container to protect them from moisture
