Shop products for Chives 
Chives make a tasty addition to omelettes, salads, and many other dishes.
Chives, a member of the onion and leek family, are a fragrant herb with a mild onion flavour. Both the slender, vivid-green stalks and the lavender flowers are edible.

Rinse fresh chives in cold water just before using. Snip fresh chives into omelettes or soups, add them to cheese or tofu spreads, or toss the flowers into salads. Add fresh chives toward the end of cooking time to retain their flavour and keep them from turning bitter.

Health benefits and concerns
Foods high in vitamin K such as vegetables typically are associated with low cancer risk. Despite the fact that the anti-vitamin K drug warfarin might reduce the risk of cancer under certain circumstances, no evidence suggests that avoidance of vitamin K (from food or from supplements) would in any way help protect against cancer.
