Chives are a slender, mild-flavoured herb in the onion family, used raw as a garnish or flavouring in dishes such as soups, baked potatoes, omelettes, dips and salads. Because heat dulls their delicate flavour, they are typically added at the end of cooking or sprinkled fresh. Per 100 g, raw chives provide 29 kcal, 2.7 g of protein, 0.6 g of fat, 2.6 g of carbohydrates and 2.5 g of dietary fibre. They are a notable source of potassium (296 mg per 100 g), calcium (92 mg), vitamin A (309 mcg), vitamin K (260 mcg) and folate (105 mcg).
