Orange Honeydew Melon
Oval-to-round and a delicious cross between a cantaloupe and a honeydew, the very fleshy juicy orangish-yellow pulp of the orange honeydew melon is encased in a hard very yellow matching rind.
Iceberg Lettuce
It is the only lettuce type that does not occur in red form as well as green. Iceberg is the given name to dozens of cultivars of lettuce, all of which are adapted to specific planting regions and time periods.
Seasons/Availability
Chives are available year round.
Current Facts
Chives, the smallest growing species of the onion family, Alliaceae, are a bulbous perennial garden herb grown for both culinary and ornamental purposes. They are known as one of the four Fine Herbs along with tarragon, chervil and parsley. Chive flowers are a natural attractant to bees, which is why they are a preferred herb to plant in a productive garden in need of pollination.
Description/Taste
Chives are grown for both their leaves and their flowers. Their true green leaves are thin, grass-like and as they mature, they produce lavender-hued, bulbous flowers. Both the flowers and the leaves are mildly pungent and spicy with savory-sweet undertones.
Applications
Chives are mild and may be used as a garnish or a flavoring herb. Add to cream-based sauces, buerre blanc, soups and broths. Use minced chives to finish meat, poultry or seafood dishes. Pair with other fresh herbs, cheeses, mushrooms, root vegetables, citrus and squash. The color and slight onion flavor or chives may be used to lighten as well as enhance the flavors in a dish. Refrigerate to store, making sure chives are kept dry until ready to use.
Geography/History
Chives are native to both the New World and the Old World, specifically North America, Europe and Asia. They are the only Allium with Old and New world origins.
