Dried chives are the dehydrated version of fresh chives, an aromatic herb belonging to the onion family (Allium). They are characterized by their thin, tubular leaves and their mild flavor, with subtle hints of onion and garlic, making them ideal for enhancing the taste of soups, sauces, salads, and various dishes.
Chives originated in temperate regions of Europe and Asia, where they have been cultivated for centuries as an essential seasoning. After harvest, the fresh leaves are carefully dried to preserve their flavor and aroma, facilitating their storage and use throughout the year.
Among their main properties, their content of antioxidants, vitamins A and C, and minerals such as iron and calcium stand out. Furthermore, they provide a fresh and natural touch without the intense pungency of traditional onions.
In different Hispanic American countries, dried chives may be known as dried scallions, dehydrated chives, or simply dried green onions. In all cases, it is a versatile ingredient that adds color and flavor to a wide variety of recipes.
