Both chives and wild garlic are my most favorite flavor and health bring when it comes to dishes. In hot or cold dishes, always delicious, most certainly the flowers are a winner.
Handsome blog post of yours.

Reducing hay fever symptoms ? I haven't noticed any of that yet. Chives grow in my vegetable garden, so it is regularly used here in the kitchen, but that it can remedy hay fever, we unfortunately do not benefit from that with three hay fever sufferers in the house .

It always sounds good to read or hear such a positive representation of things about a natural product. The question is whether it would indeed help against all the ailments and health problems you list. But anyway, I save this article to read it again at ease.

In summer, we often use chives on cold potatoes. Too bad that this herb does not grow in winter and to freeze we do not have enough in the garden.

I read that chives help prevent (chronic) fatigue. That certainly seems to me in the present day, where fatigue is a common effect of corona and vaccines against corona.
