Chives

Chives are a green vegetable with a mild onion-like flavor. They are in the Allium genus, which also includes garlic, onions, and leeks. People have cultivated allium vegetables for centuries for their characteristic pungent flavors in cooking and their medicinal properties.

Chives, or Allium schoenoprasum, contain nutrients that are important for sleep and bone health. Some research has also linked the chemicals in chives and other allium vegetables with anticancer effects.

Despite all this, they taste great fresh AND dried. Makes for a great bagel and cream cheese topping, buttered bread, soups and stews, fried eggs, in salads . . . basically anything you enjoy onions with, dried chives are a bit like an onion, and a bit like a leek, with the ever so slight garlic hint.
