what is the difference between chives and onion chives?
Chives, also in the onion family, are used as herbs. They have long, hollow green stems that are usually eaten fresh. While they do have a somewhat onion-y taste, chives are much less pungent than onions and even milder than scallions. ... For instance, you'll often find chives on baked potatoes, omelets, and soups.
