Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) (also: pipe grass) is a plant from the garlic family (Alliaceae). The plant is related to bulbous plants such as onion, leek and garlic.
Chives may look like an onion, but the taste of chives is more refined and aromatic. In addition, there is a lot of vitamin C in chives. Getting chive fresh is the best choice. He belongs to the lily-like, just like onion and garlic. The bulbous perennial has a hollow, tubular leaf, with purple, spherical flowers.
