Organic chives | flakes | 0.3-5.0 mm

What it is / Product description

Biova organic chives bring the typically fresh, mildly onion-like seasoning of this popular kitchen herb into your kitchen in convenient, coarsely granulated flakes. The intensely green herb flakes with a grain size of 0.3–5.0 mm come from certified organic cultivation in Germany and are designed as bulk goods for professional users and heavy users.

Thanks to gentle drying and careful processing at Biova, the aroma, natural color and characteristic mildness are largely preserved. The flaky, granulated structure ensures an even distribution in the dish and makes dosing easier in large-scale kitchens.

In both hot and cold dishes, the dried chives refine soups, sauces, stews, salads, dips and herb butter. Thanks to the coarse flake structure, the seasoning can be used in a targeted way as an aromatic and visual component and is a space-saving, long-lasting alternative to fresh chives.

Origin

The chives come from Germany, where the temperate climate promotes a well-balanced aroma and an even leaf structure. Short transport routes allow for rapid further processing after harvest and support a stable, intensely green color.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

Cultivation follows the guidelines of certified organic farming without synthetic crop protection agents and without mineral nitrogen fertilizers. After harvesting, the stalks are cleaned, gently dried and then coarsely granulated, resulting in flaky pieces of 0.3–5.0 mm.

Special features

Characteristic are the intensely green color, the coarse, flaky structure and the uniform grain size, which visibly enhance dishes. As granulated bulk goods with approx. 1.05 kg per unit, this product is specifically tailored to the requirements of gastronomy, large-scale kitchens and other major consumers.

Differences in origin and processing

Compared to imported goods, German cultivation enables a closely coordinated chain of harvesting, drying and granulation. This supports a harmonious, mildly onion-like flavor profile, consistent product quality and a clearly visible herb note in the finished dish.

Taste & aroma

Sensory-wise, it shows a typical, mildly onion-like aroma with a fresh leek note without intrusive pungency. The smell is fresh and herbaceous and unfolds particularly on contact with moisture or heat, while the bright green color visually underlines the fresh impression.

Possible applications

• For refining soups, stews and creamy sauces shortly before serving.
• As a decorative, seasoning ingredient in salads, dips, quark and yogurt preparations.
• For scrambled eggs, omelets, potato dishes, herb butter and spreads in hot and cold dishes.
