Silva® 42S Air-Dried Irradiated Chives - Kosher, Chopped, 10-lb Box
Silva 42S field-fresh chives are a premium quality herb renowned for their vibrant green color, delicate flavor, and versatility in foods.
Sourced directly from fields mainly throughout China, Germany, and the Netherlands, these chives are harvested at their peak freshness to offer full flavor and aroma.
Each batch of chives undergoes thorough sorting, cleaning, trimming, and air-drying. This ensures that the ingredient meets the highest food safety standards even before being chopped.
Chopped chives offer a subtle, onion-like taste with a hint of garlic, though more mild and refined compared to garlic cloves or full-sized onions but without the strong, pungent bite. There is a slight sweetness that balances out the savory notes without overpowering them.
The bright green hue also showcases unique flavor characteristics and has versatile culinary uses that enhance the appeal of a wide variety of dishes.
The irradiation process significantly advances food safety by extending shelf life without affecting flavor or nutritional value. This preservation method keeps the quality, essential oils, and culinary properties of Silva 42S chives, offering a natural, chemical-free alternative to traditional preservation methods.
The delicate taste of air-dried chives makes them a popular choice for garnishing dishes or adding a touch of herbaceous to soups, stews, sauces, and salads.
Irradiated chives offer a versatile flavor profile, suitable for both savory and sweet applications, making them a valuable ingredient for food manufacturers
