Description & Nutritional Value
Garlic chives (Allium tuberosum) , also known as garlic chives, Oriental garlic, Asian chives, Chinese chives, Chinese leek, is scientifically classified as Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Angiosperms Clade: Monocots Order: Asparagales Family: Amaryllidaceae Subfamily: Allioideae Genus: Allium Species: A. tuberosum.
Its scientific name of Allium tuberosum is indicative of its oniony roots and falls among the family Liliaceae. Unlike onions or other types of garlic, however, the fibrous bulb is not edible but is grown rather for its flowers and stems. It is easy to differentiate between onion chives and garlic chives. Garlic chives have a flat, grass-like leaf, not a hollow one as do onion chives. They grow between 12 to 15 inches tall.
Garlic chives are rich in Vitamin C, which prevents from common cold and fever, also rich in riboflavin, potassium, vitamin A, iron, thiamin, and beta carotene. These elements help in blood count increase, maintaining blood pressure, and increasing immunity power.
How To Serve
Chinese garlic chives have a strong, pungent “garlicky” flavor. They’re a great substitute for garlic when you don’t feel like smashing and peeling cloves.
Trim off the ends of garlic chives (if they are not already trimmed) and wash thoroughly before using. Chop the chives to release the flavor. For best results, add the chives near the end of the cooking process—otherwise, the flavor fades.
Chopped fresh garlic chives are often used to give a bit of extra flavor to a noodle stir-fry. You’ll find chopped garlic chives showing up in Chinese recipes for soups, stews, salads and meat marinades. Garlic chives make a flavourful alternative to regular chives in non-Asian dishes. Feel free to add a few snips of garlic chives the next time you’re preparing scrambled eggs or an omelet, or substitute them for regular chives in a recipe for herbed bread.
