Chives are the smallest of the onion family and have the mildest flavor. They grow together in clumps, which is why they are always referred to in the plural, and have grass-like stalks with delicate lavendar flowers. Because they are so mild in flavor and have such lovely color, they are a perfect addition to spreads, herb butters and dips, or for a flavoring in vinegars. Even their flowers can be used as a slightly spicy garnish on soups and salads. Like many other herbs, chives are best used fresh, but also works well fozen or dried.

Beyond just a seasoning for pickles, dill has been used for its culinary and medicinal properties for centuries. Its history is illustrated by mentions in the Bible and ancient Egyptian writings, as well as records of Greek and Roman cultures favoring it as a sign of wealth.

They are similar in taste to caraway, with an aromatic flavor that is sweet and citrusy, but also slightly bitter. Amazing in fish dishes and cool cucumber dips!
