Common chives (Allium schoenoprasum) are native to Europe and belong to the same genus as onions and garlic. Their slender, hollow leaves are used fresh and finely chopped in soups, fried eggs, omelets, salads and appetizers.
Chinese chives (Allium odoratum) have larger leaves with a pronounced garlic flavor, while their flowers have a rose-like fragrance.
