Origin and Uses of Chives by ios007 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Garlic chives are a perennial herb with flat leaves and white star-shaped flowers. It prefers rich, well-drained soil and full sun. The leaves and flower buds can be added to foods for flavor, though cooking destroys the taste. Garlic chives are also used in Chinese cuisine and medicinally to lower blood pressure. They are propagated from seed and harvested throughout the growing season.
