Garlic chives, a humble herb often used in soups, stir-fries, and steamed dishes, are rarely combined with fried eggs. However, using garlic chives instead of scallions not only enhances the flavor but also offers numerous health benefits.
In traditional medicine, garlic chives are believed to have a cooling nature, a spicy taste, and a slightly pungent aroma. They possess anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties, aid in digestion, and help regulate blood pressure. Rich in fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, calcium, and iron, garlic chives are a nutritious addition to any meal.
