Chives

Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are a member of the onion family (Alliaceae) grown for their leaves, which are used as an herb. Chives have a much milder flavor than onions or garlic. They are referred to only in the plural, because they grow in in clumps rather than alone.


Chives[?] is also the name of a commune in the Charente-Maritime département, in France
