Chives are a nutrient-dense food. This means they are low in calories but high in beneficial nutrients like vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

–  Chives help the body get rid of the harmful bacteria, yeast, and fungi in your intestinal tract that might otherwise hamper your digestion. The antibacterial properties of chives can help eliminate at least 30 strains of salmonella (which can cause intestinal distress).

–  Chives contain vitamin K, a nutrient quite important for the bones. This vitamin helps maintain bone integrity and density.

–  The numerous phytochemicals in chives can boost your immune system. Chives also contain selenium in trace amounts, which is another important mineral that strengthens immunity.

–  Chives are good sources of choline, which is one important nutrient that aids proper sleep.

–  The folic acid in chives is known for boosting the production of dopamine and serotonin, which are feel-good hormones that boost your mood.

Chop the leaves and flavor salads, sauces, pies, and soups. It is also used in chicken, fish, omelets. Dried chives are put on soups or in lemon juice. The chives are used like the onion but it has a milder smell and is more digestible. Add chives to plain yogurt.
Chives are not normally considered allergenic, but people who need to avoid onions and other foods of the same family may need to be cautious. Too much chive may provide too high a concentration of certain organic compounds, which may lead to abdominal discomfort. In any case you should consult with your healthcare doctor before using it especially if you’re taking other medications or having health problems.
