Chive is a slender, hollow green herb with tubular leaves. It offers a mild onion flavor and tender bite, best added at the end of cooking to preserve its bright color and grassy perfume. Cooks snip it into salads and dressings, finish eggs, potatoes, seafood, and soups, and fold it into compound butter or creamy dips.
Cultivated Allium schoenoprasum originated across Europe and Asia and spread through temperate regions. It remains a staple garnish in French and Central European cuisines and grows readily as a hardy perennial in kitchen gardens.
