Chives (also known by the scientific name Allium schoenoprasum) are a plant with its characteristic long, slender leaves that have a mild onion note. Chives were originally native to Europe and northern Asia, but are now cultivated worldwide. Chives require a lot of sunlight and grow in a wide variety of soils. The chive leaves are then harvested, dried and then cut.
The dried version of chives retains the aroma of fresh chives and the chopped version makes it easier to dose. Chopped and dried, they last a particularly long time and can be stored without much effort.
