Chives are bulb-forming plants, and therefore their medicinal properties are similar to the medicinal properties of garlic, such as being antibacterial and having a positive effect on the vascular system. It’s very rich in vitamins A and C. chives serve as mildly flavored spice and therefore can be used as a main raw ingredient and also as a garnish. In the past, it was believed that bunches of dried chives would ward off diseases if hung around one’s person, but I think that these pancakes are enough to make you feel good.
