How to Store Chives: these are tender and don't last long! Keep spritzed with water and cold in a bag in the fridge. Use asap.
Chives are in the same family as onions, scallions and garlic, they grow from small bulbs. In the middle ages, chives were promoted as a cure for melancholy and believed to drive away evil spirits. Don't heat chives or they will lose their flavor and vitamin C, as well as their digestive properties.
