Chives–like garlic–are a member of the onion family. They also make a very pretty decorative plant for your garden and hardly need any maintenance. You can eat both the long, graceful straws and the purple, snowball-like flowers. The straws are flexible enough to be used to tie bundles together. They can also be left whole and used as garnish, snipped into smaller pieces (this is easier to do with kitchen shears than with a knife), or thrown into the cookpot at the last minute to add color to your creation. Their mild oniony taste makes them perfect to pair with butter and bread, or with a cottage cheese and/or Greek-style yogurt vegetable dip.
