What is a "garlic chive"?
Garlic chives, also known as Chinese chives or Chinese leeks, are herbs with thin, flat leaves and a subtle garlic flavor. They belong to the same family as regular chives but have a stronger taste reminiscent of garlic. Garlic chives are commonly used as a culinary herb in Asian cuisines, particularly in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean dishes. They can be chopped and added to stir-fries, soups, dumplings, and noodles for flavor, or used as a garnish to add freshness and aroma to dishes. Garlic chives are rich in vitamins and minerals, and they are valued not only for their flavor but also for their potential health benefits.
