Chives - (800 seeds)
Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are a species of flowering plant in the Amaryllidaceae family, known for their edible leaves and flowers. They are a bulb-forming herbaceous perennial plant, growing to 30–50 cm tall, with slender, conical bulbs. Chives have a mild onion-like flavor and are commonly used in cooking to add a subtle onion taste to dishes such as fish, potatoes, and soups. The plant also produces attractive rose-pink flowers and has been used in both cooking and medicine. Chives are a nutrient-dense food, low in calories but high in beneficial nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are often used as a garnish due to their high nutrient content. Chives have insect-repelling properties and can be used in gardens to control pests, while also providing nectar for pollinators. They are readily available fresh at most markets year-round and can be dry-frozen without much impairment to the taste, making them a convenient herb for home growers. Chives belong to the Allium genus, which also includes garlic, onions, and leeks, and have been cultivated for centuries for their culinary and potential health benefits.
