Chive flowers are the blossoms of the chive plant, a member of the onion family. They are small, round, and typically purple or pink in color, blooming in clusters atop tall, slender stems. These flowers usually appear in late spring to early summer and are edible, adding a mild onion flavor to dishes. In addition to their culinary uses, chive flowers attract beneficial insects, such as bees and butterflies, making them a great addition to gardens. They can also be used as a decorative element in salads or as a garnish, enhancing both the visual appeal and flavor of various meals.
