Chives come from China, where they were used as a kitchen herb, but also as an antidote. The Romans probably brought the herb to Europe via Asia. The ancient Egyptians also used chives, and Charlemagne recommended the herb as a remedy for stomach complaints, constipation, melancholy and deafness.
Chives are very healthy: they are full of vitamin A, B and C and minerals from sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus to magnesium and iron.
