Chives are the smallest species of the onion family. They are referred to only in the plural, because they grow in clumps rather than as individual plants.
Culinary uses for chives involve shredding its leaves (straws) for use as condiment for fish, potatoes and soups. Because of this, it is a common household herb, frequent in gardens as well as in grocery stores. It also has insect-repelling properties which can be used in gardens to control pests.

Usually, you don't cook chives. . .you throw it in at the very end to add a mild onion flavor. In my opinion, it is best with eggs. Try it out. . .I hope you like it.

chives go with baked potatoes, mixed in with sour cream for a dip, in salads, it can be eaten raw. Taste it. It has a mild onion like taste. Use it where ever you want this taste.

Answer 9

I throw it into just about anything to which I want to impart a mild onion flavor. You can use it fresh or dried. Just throw it in -- it can be cooked in your dish or uncooked (like in egg salad). It's a delicate flavor, though, so don't waste too much time putting it into things like spaghetti sauce; it'd be overwhelmed.

Put them on baked potatoes on in some chicken soup for added flavor. Super good.
