Chives, botanically known as Allium schoenoprasum, is an aromatic plant that is part of the Liliaceae family, the same as onion, garlic, leek and shallot. Like the other most used variants, chives also have a decidedly particular taste and are not always appreciated, even if they are lighter and more delicate than garlic or onion.
