About Chives, raw
Raw chives are used as an herb rather than a bulk vegetable, so macro comparisons per 100g are somewhat theoretical in practice. Still, for what is essentially a thin allium leaf, the protein and fiber content are surprisingly solid, and fat is low. The flavor is mild onion with a fresh, grassy quality that works as a finishing touch on eggs, potatoes, soups, and dips. A few tablespoons is the typical serving, which contributes more flavor than nutrition.
