Fresh herbs and spices are something that we all prefer. But dried chives make life a whole lot easier. While dried chives could prove to be the best tastemakers in your kitchen, they are fast becoming popular among food manufacturing companies too, owing to their growing popularity as medicinal herbs.

Chives are closely related to the Onion family and known for rendering a distinctive flavour to every dish. It is widely preferred by Chefs and culinary experts due to its unique quality to blend seamlessly with any meal and also adds an exotic touch to the visual appeal of the Food.

Essential to the classic French blends, this lightweight herb tastes better in combination with other herbs as Basil, Fennel, Paprika, Parsley, etc.

Manufacturing Process:

The smallest member of the onion family, chives needs a lot of care and effort in its manufacturing process. One of the best additions to the beginner’s kitchen, chives are first washed and then spin-dried gently.

While the dehydrator is being preheated to the lowest temperature, the manufacturers chop the herbs into 5*5 mm. The herbs are then spread into a thin layer on clear trays & left in the dehydrator until the leaves are crisp when touch. This long, sophisticated and slow drying process helps chives to retain their colour, texture, and freshness.
