What it is

Dried chives are the dehydrated leaves of the chive plant (Allium schoenoprasum). Chives are related to onions and garlic and have a mild, fresh oniony flavor. They are typically harvested, dried, and then chopped or ground.

Why it's used

Dried chives are used as a flavoring agent, adding a subtle onion-like taste to foods. They are commonly found in spice blends, dried soup mixes, and as a seasoning for savory dishes.

Health notes

Chives are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a food ingredient. They are a source of some vitamins and minerals, though amounts are small in typical use. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chives as a food ingredient. No significant health concerns are associated with the consumption of chives at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Chives are not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
