Chinese Chives

Striking garlicky taste, which some call delicate and others call strong. Unlike our Western chives, the long and slender bright green leaves are flat, and in summer are topped by tiny, white bulbous flower heads that are edible. If harvested while the leaves are thin and slender, the taste is wonderfully delicate. Left in the ground too long and harvested when the leaves are over ⅛ inch thick, the taste and aroma become pronounced and a bit overwhelming.
