The herb gives out a mild onion flavor, probably because they both belong to the same family. Chives leaves are used as a condiment for seafood and vegetables dishes. Also other culinary usages of the herb ranges from garnishing to flavoring in a variety of preparations like salads, dips, soups etc. Chives have traditional roots in French and Swedish cuisine and are used in pancakes, sandwiches and sauces, apart from the usual usage.
