Product Information

Reap the rewards of homegrown organic chives with USDA Certified Organic Chives Seeds—backed by the gold standard in quality assurance.

Hollow, thin chive leaves have a delicate flavor similar to mild-tasting onions. Chives are an easy and convenient way to add flavor and nutrition to your dishes.

Chives seed germination time can take anywhere from 15 to 21 days. Chopped chives are wonderfully delicious in salads and for flavoring soups and omelets. They are sometimes used for edging flowerbeds due to their attractive, clover-like blossoms.
