How to Eat Chive Flowers (4 Steps)
When a chive plant in an herb garden begins to bloom in the spring, a gardener has some delicious options for using these dainty and delectable blossoms. Because the chive blossoms possess a similar flavor to the chives themselves, adding them to salads and dips is not only tasty, but it looks appealing when you serve it. Snip the blossoms from your chive plant once they open fully into round, lavender blossoms, and eat chive flowers for your next meal.
