With all this rain and sunshine we’ve been having, it’s been such an abundant year for the flowers and crops!

This was just some of my Chive Blossom Harvest 😍

These beauties only bloom for a short time in late spring - early summer. That’s why I like to dry them out and store them to use over the cooler months.

Chives and their blossoms actually have a warming effect on the body so they're best enjoyed through the autumn, winter and spring (or whenever there is excess dampness or coolness in the body).

Chive Blossoms look like they would have a sweet flavour but they actually taste just like chive shoots! They have a mild garlicky-onion flavour and make the best infused oils and vinegars.

Here’s some more benefits of Chive Blossoms ↡

🌸 Rich in Antioxidants

🌸 High in Vitamin C

🌸 Good Source of Chlorophyl

🌸 Digestive Stimulant

🌸 Improves Circulation

🌸 Anti-Inflammatory
