Chive blossoms are herb farmers’ secret treasures. Seasonal and relatively perishable, these pink-purple flowers aren’t usually found in grocery stores, but are highly prized for their beautiful, delicate appearance and robust spicy-onion flavor.
Chive blossoms average about ¾” by 1” (but can vary), and they are sold with some of the stalk attached (also edible & quite tasty).
They are a colorful, delicious addition to savory dishes and salads as a garnish or ingredient and can be used whole, off the stalk, torn into petals or minced.
