Chives

Chives stimulate the appetite and help promote good digestion.  They can ease stomach upset, clear a stuffy nose, reduce flatulence (gas) and prevent bad breath. 

They are mildly diuretic, help lower high blood pressure and have some antibacterial properties.

• They can help lower cholesterol by stimulation fat digestion.

• The sulfur compounds help expel mucus, especially when you have a cold.

• Chives contain potassium, calcium, iron, folic acid, vitamins A and C.

Chive flowers, picked fresh, and added to a bottle of olive oil make a mild, lilac colored oil in about a week.
