Leaves are ideal to use for flavoring salads, eggs, potatoes, cheese dips, casseroles, soups or stews. Also used in dips, sauces or with cottage cheese. Young flower blossoms can be used as edible garnish. Cut leaves quickly grow back. Freezes well in airtight containers or plastic bags. Easy to grow. Chives are easy to start and can last for years.
