According to Whole Herb, garlic chives are a welcome addition to any herb garden. Not only do they add flavor to dozens of dishes, but the white flowers on tall straight stems make great cut flowers for a herbal summer bouquet.
From cilantro to sage, the Recipe Box at Whole Herb offers dozens of imaginative recipes for soups, salads, vinegars, blends, and more. Try the Wild Mushroom Soup with Sage, a combination of oyster, shitake, and white button mushrooms seasoned with two teaspoons of fresh sage. Whip up some Chickpea Flatbread with Garlic Chives, Cilantro, and Ginger and serve with either a salad or main course. Use the Wine Jelly recipe to dress up main courses or melt the jelly to make a glaze for fruit tarts.
