Delicate Color, Clean Flavor
Add color and a mild, slightly sweet onion-like flavor with chives.
The use of chives can be traced back 5,000 years, and they’ve been cultivated in Europe since the Middle Ages. They grow wild throughout Asia, the Middle East, and North America.
Related to onions, chives offer a delicate, clean flavor that pairs well with parsley and celery.
Nutrient-dense chives can contribute vitamins K, C, A, and other nutrients. Studies have shown that chives and other allium vegetables may support various aspects of health, such as cellular, mood, brain, and eye health(1).
The air-dried and freeze-dried chives that BCFoods supplies to CPG and food manufacturers can be used in many savory applications, including seasoning blends, salad dressings, cooking sauces, table sauces, soups, instant noodle seasoning packets, instant mashed potatoes, cheese, frozen meals, spreads, and more.
