Chives, fresh

Chives are a leafy herb in the onion family, and the figures here describe fresh chives. They provide vitamins and minerals, along with some fibre and protein. Per 100g, fresh chives contain 58mg of vitamin C, 435µg of vitamin A (retinol equivalent), 105µg of folate and 2.5g of fibre.

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and helps the body absorb iron from plant foods. Vitamin A contributes to normal vision, while folate is needed for normal cell division and blood formation. Chives are usually eaten in small amounts as a flavouring, so their contribution to nutrient intake depends on the amount used. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
