What it is

Chives are a small, onion-like herb with a mild, fresh flavor. Organic freeze-dried chives are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers and then dehydrated using a freeze-drying process, which helps preserve their color, flavor, and nutrients.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use freeze-dried chives to add a fresh onion-like flavor and visual appeal to foods. They are commonly found in salad dressings, dips, sauces, and as a garnish 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 vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated chives and their components, but have not set specific limits for their use as a food ingredient.

Allergen info

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