Chive Powder
Chive Powder
Chive Powder, Allium schoenoprasum, is a finely milled powder made from dried, ground chives. It is also called ground chives, powdered chives, or chives ground.
Chive Powder is a bright green powder made from chives that are air dried, trimmed, sorted, and finely milled. Chives are the most delicate member of the onion family, primarily grown for the leaves and scapes, though their flowers are also edible. The flavor of chives concentrates when it dries, so it’s got a bold, onion-forward flavor.
Businesses interested in Chive Powder include:

Blend it into DIY seasoning blends for chicken, fish, seafood, pork, or tofu. Add to dressings and marinades. Use to finish egg dishes, cream sauces, or vegetables. Toss with potatoes, rice, or sprinkle over cheeses.
