Chives 10g
A sprinkle of chives elevates everyday meals:
The Classic Baked Potato: A must-have topping for a classic sour cream and chive loaded potato.
Dips & Sauces: Stir into sour cream, Greek yogurt, or mayonnaise for a quick and delicious dip for chips and vegetables.
Eggs & Omelettes: The perfect herb for sprinkling over scrambled eggs, omelettes, and frittatas.
Salads & Soups: Add a fresh flavour dimension to green salads, potato salad, and creamy soups like vichyssoise.
Butters & Spreads: Mix into softened butter to create a delicious herb butter for steak, corn on the cob, or crusty bread.
How to Use: For the best flavour, sprinkle over dishes just before serving. The residual heat will help release their delicate aroma. If using in cooked dishes, add in the last few minutes of cooking.
Storage: Keep in an airtight container in a cool, dark, and dry place to protect their colour and delicate flavour.
