Chives

Chives are part of the same botanical family as onions, scallions and garlic. They grow from bulbs and have a long history of culinary and medicinal uses.

Chives and chive flowers are high in vitamin C, vitamin A, folic acid and potassium. Just 3-1/2 oz. of chives supplies enough vitamin C to meet the daily requirement of 60 mg.

Cottage Cheese and Chives

8 oz.cottage cheese
1 tbsp mustard
1 shallot

Hint - Grow chives in a pot on the windowsill. Wait until the plant reaches about 6 inches in height before cutting. Harvest the leaves frequently to prevent blooming. Once the plant blooms the leaves become less flavorful.
