Chinese Chives

Chinese Chive is a leafy, garlic‑scented herb commonly used in East Asian and Southeast Asian cooking; it’s often called Chinese chives and is used raw as a garnish, stir‑fried, or folded into dumpling and pancake fillings. It’s prized for its mild allium flavor and flat, grass‑like leaves rather than a bulb. Nutritionally, Chinese Chive is low in calories and a useful aromatic that also contributes dietary fiber, with about 2.5g of fiber per 100g, making it a small but meaningful way to boost vegetable intake and bulk in dishes. It also supplies vitamin C and K alongside modest protein for an herb. From a health perspective, garlic chives bring useful micronutrients and plant compounds typical of alliums—antioxidant and anti‑inflammatory phytochemicals—so using them as a fresh garnish or in quick-cooked dishes is an easy way to add flavor and nutrition without many calories.
