I have been collecting different types of herbs to plant on our pots in the kitchen. The newest addition is the chives seed kit in bamboo container. I love herbs they just make our dishes more flavorful and they do have distinct aroma that could definitely catch my family's attention when I am cooking. It is actually more practical to have these potted herbs indoors, not only they are fresh, but also you can save money from buying at the grocery or market. Plus you are assured that these herbs do not contain harmful chemical fertilizers that could have great effect on you and your family's health. Having these herbs on your kitchen also saves your time from going out to your garden to pick them when needed.
There are many health benefits that we could get from these herbs especially the chives. Sometimes, we could only eat chives when we order a baked potato at a restaurant. But now, having these chive seed kits at home is really a good choice. What we don't know is that chives are very low in calorie and they contain many noteworthy flavonoid anti-oxidants, plant fiber, minerals and vitamins that have proven health benefits. Fresh chives are rich in folates, as well as Vit. C and K. In fact, chives are one of the richest source of Vit. K more than that of in scallions. Furthermore, the leaves are packed with other B-complex vitamins and some essential minerals such as copper, iron, manganese, zinc, and calcium. What more could we ask for from this tiny plant with so many health benefits. You and your family will sure love this wonder herb.
Now, we know that chives are nutrient-dense food, meaning, that while they are low in calorie they are high in beneficial nutrients like vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. It only tells us that we should not take for granted eating chives or any other herbs because it will definitely save us from different health problems.
