Chives

Chives, scientific name Allium schoenoprasum, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae that produces edible leaves and flowers. Their close relatives include the common onions, garlic, shallot, leek, scallion, and Chinese onion.

A perennial plant, it is widespread in nature across much of Europe, Asia, and North America.

A. schoenoprasum is the only species of Allium native to both the New and the Old Worlds.

Chives are a commonly used herb and can be found in grocery stores or grown in home gardens. In culinary use, the green stalks (scapes) and the unopened, immature flower buds are diced and used as an ingredient for omelettes, fish, potatoes, soups, and many other dishes. The edible flowers can be used in salads. Chives have insect-repelling properties that can be used in gardens to control pests.

The plant provides a great deal of nectar for pollinators. It was rated in the top 10 for most nectar production (nectar per unit cover per year) in a UK plants survey conducted by the AgriLand project which is supported by the UK Insect Pollinators Initiative.

Examples of use of chive

1. For nearly an hour, the queen mingled with foreign diplomats in the green–and–white striped tent, where a buffet table was set with sandwiches of poached salmon and chive, egg mayonnaise and watercress and, of course, cucumber.

2. From a menu as fussy as any in New York or San Francisco, I read at length about my chicken: "Maker‘s Mark Bourbon glazed free–range Hutterite Statler chicken with twice baked cheddar and chive Yukon Gold potatoes and grilled broccoli." Asked what "Hutterite Statler" meant, the waiter explained that Hutterite referred to a nearby farm where a religious sect known for cleanliness raises chickens. (I later learned from the Internet that Statler is menu–speak for a kind of boneless chicken breast.) The wine list included a $400 bottle of syrah from Australia.
