Chives

Native to Asia, chives are the smallest species of the onion family that comes from the reed-like stems of a bulbous lily plant, commonly found in seasoning blending of fine herbs.

Although, the most popular varieties of chives are cultivated in China and California, they are one of the common herbs found in the Indian cuisine, especially in the northeast region including:

• West Bengal
• Mizoram
• Meghalaya
• Assam
• Manipur
• Sikkim
• Arunachal
• Pradesh
• Tripura

Chives are used in cold soups, cream and cheese sauces, stir-fried items, potatoes, dips, also used as a garnish. However, one of the most popular Indian dishes around the world, which recipe include chives, is the famous cantaloupe salad.

With 5,000 years of culinary tradition, chives can be found in fresh stalks, dried, or frozen, with an invariable garlic-onion flavor, being a good source of Vitamin A.
