How to use chive blossoms in recipes

Wash before using. The flowers can house the tiniest bugs imaginable. To flush them out, just plunge the flowers into water several time and swish them around then pat dry.

Separate flowers into florets. Using your fingers, gently pull the florets away from the centre of the flower head.

After you’ve separated the florets, you can use them to great effect by sprinkling on salads, soups, and other savoury dishes to add colour, interest, flavour & texture.
