Freeze-dried chives are fresh chives that have had nearly all their moisture removed through freeze-drying, concentrating their nutrients and flavour into a lightweight, shelf-stable form. They are used as a convenient substitute for fresh chives, typically sprinkled over soups, baked potatoes, dips and egg dishes in small quantities — a typical serving is just 1–2 g. Because of that concentration effect, the per-100g figures are striking: 311 kcal, 21.2 g of protein, 3.5 g of fat, 64.3 g of carbohydrates and 26.2 g of dietary fibre. Mineral content is similarly concentrated, with 2,960 mg of potassium, 813 mg of calcium and 640 mg of magnesium per 100 g. Vitamin A reaches 3,415 mcg and vitamin C 660 mg per 100 g, alongside 108 mcg of folate. Suitable for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, Mediterranean and low-FODMAP dietary patterns.
How many calories in freeze-dried chives?
Freeze-dried chives contain 311 kcal per 100 g, but a realistic serving is around 1–2 g, which works out to roughly 3–6 kcal. The high calorie figure per 100 g simply reflects how much water has been removed during freeze-drying.
How much potassium is in freeze-dried chives?
Freeze-dried chives contain 2,960 mg of potassium per 100 g, a figure that reflects the extreme concentration of nutrients after moisture removal. In a typical 1–2 g serving, the actual potassium contribution is around 30–60 mg.
Are freeze-dried chives low-FODMAP friendly?
