These dainty, hollowed green stems are the most mild flavored of all the onion family. Chives can be snipped with scissors and will re-grow where you cut them, making for a great addition to your herb garden from the spring all the way through the fall. When sliced thin, they make for a lovely garnish and both the chive and the gorgeous lavender buds work well in salads. The chive's delicate flavor can be lost during the cooking process, so chives are best showcased when added to a dish right before serving. Store your fresh chives in the fridge or freeze dry them for use throughout the winter.
