love this video! i do work in a grocery store and when it comes to customers they have a lot of questions, and most commonly they ask for either chives or leek! could you please explain the difference and how & when to use each ingredients whether its a "ready to eat" or it can be eaten just like that and not cooking it! please sir and also thank you very much for this video! it explains alot🥰🥰🥰
Chives are very mild to me but green onions are strong tasting. Chive buds taste amazing. I can’t eat onion pieces as they are too strong for me but I love eating chives
I got some chive starters they are pretty green but not standing up right. Is that normal? Also can I use the flowers also for garnish?, because I know you don't cook them. Thanks for the video Jerry!
Salam dari Indonesia. Thankyou for your explanation Jerry. I realize that some chives are grown in my frontyard, now I know the use of them that I can' t wait using them in my next cooking.
Ive gotten some growing in the back yard.. Idk if its onion or chives. But its up in feb15 in 7A. Around 45 degree average, but from my personal garden the scallion seed wont germinate. Im thinking the "wild" ones are chives. What about yall?
Why is the title page (before clicking on the video) showing spring onions not scallions? I learnt from your other video, and this one, but the title photo is the opposite of the information you've taught!
marvelous vid, thank you so much . yet i want to ask you. what is it that has a bulb, but the greens are flat and broad bout 1/4 wide and flat. not the tube as in green onions and they are tuff, i found that out. thus what are they? spring or what??
But what about the green leaves of actual (red or white or yellow) onions. I am assuming they are also edible, but what are those laves called? Thanks for the info in this video. I always got confused about the difference, hahaha
Confirmed, i tried this for breakfast today. Just toss them in at the same time as the eggs since the eggs cook real quick too, or maybe even at the very end. But easier to mix if done this way.
Chives in India are mostly found in Northeast India and mostly used by Manipuri peoples both Bishnupriya and Meitei.. ||amazing taste|| People from other states, they don't even know this kinda plants were also exist ..
@@jerryjamesstone yea there are many plants that we use as curing disease and make our immune system strong .. sometimes we don't have to visit doc also.. Sir do ew know about Petai?
I have wild chives growing all around and they do have bulbs and no they are not insignificant. If you have ever gotten mixed vegetables and noticed what looks like tiny round onions about 1/4 to 3/4 of.an inch in diameter those are actually chive bulbs and they are very tasty, almost like spring onion bulbs
@@jerryjamesstone soooo whats the confusion if they look different and taste different?.. why was this explanation needed? personally i didnt know what chives were :P
Your explanation has really clarified my mind. Scallions is really easy to handle and any dish you make adding it gives any dish a delicious outcome.
Awesome!
Went to Whole Foods and purchased what was/is labelled as Chives. This video showed me, I purchased Scallions. Lol! Thank you soooo much. Blessings.
You are so welcome!
Thank you very much for this video explaining the difference about chives and the scallions. I thought I was buying chives all times.
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the great video about chives and scallions!
you are welcome.

Thanks for sharing!!
Straight to the point, Great effort, great subject to explain. Thanks Man 👍🏻
Glad you like it.
I find it ridiculous when people discard the "white part" of scallions, and too many people do. What a waste.
agree
I always eat the white part. Especially love them chopped on my taco,s, or taco salad.
I don't discard them, I replant them
Has a lot of flavor
@Minh Hùng Nguyễn Phạm promise?
thanks for the explanation, I often ask what the difference is bet them! Great job Chef Jerry!
Glad it was helpful!
Once again, you bring great information, Jerry. Warm regards from Michigan.
Thank you!
Loved the music! The video was really helpful
Glad it was helpful!
Chives
Dude you remind me of my friend lol
My mom kept convincing me they were the same. You telling me my mom is wrong? And I was right?
You are!
I cook with chives all the time, they taste great with spices.
Love them!
I cook chives all the time. Stir dry with noodles, or put it in your tofu soup. Delicious 😋
Yay
Chives are very mild to me but green onions are strong tasting. Chive buds taste amazing. I can’t eat onion pieces as they are too strong for me but I love eating chives
Good to know!
Great video, thanks for the info!
Glad it was helpful!
Hey Jerry, thanks for your video. Are the flavors different? I'm trying a recipe that calls for both to be used in a spring potato salad.
yes, similar but different. you could probably just use one for a potato salad if it is mayo based
I got some chive starters they are pretty green but not standing up right. Is that normal? Also can I use the flowers also for garnish?, because I know you don't cook them. Thanks for the video Jerry!
Salam dari Indonesia. Thankyou for your explanation Jerry. I realize that some chives are grown in my frontyard, now I know the use of them that I can' t wait using them in my next cooking.
You are very welcome
I thought chives were the top green tubular part of the scallions/green onion just chopped up!
nope! :-)
very good video, thank you
Glad you liked it!
That shirt is awesome! xD👍
Thanks 😆
Thanks for the information
My pleasure
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Thanks!
Welcome!

Thanks!
Hi I am new from Philippines. Thanks for info
You’re welcome 😊
Great info going to incorporate into my channel thank you
cool
Thanks for the video
You bet
You actually said the same thing twice regarding the difference between the two. But hey, thanks for the info!
No problem!
Ive gotten some growing in the back yard.. Idk if its onion or chives. But its up in feb15 in 7A. Around 45 degree average, but from my personal garden the scallion seed wont germinate. Im thinking the "wild" ones are chives. What about yall?
idk
In our country green onion or schollions is an onion grows from the usuall onion that like ball after it spoil. And this in fall season. Isn't it?
not sure
@@jerryjamesstone I'm a forigne learner and Ineed which word is used in american schools: green onin, shallot, or schollion. And I need the plural plz
Thanks helpful
Glad to hear that
Why is the title page (before clicking on the video) showing spring onions not scallions? I learnt from your other video, and this one, but the title photo is the opposite of the information you've taught!
not sure what you mean
Wondering the difference between chives and chinese chives?
will do a video
Do chives have more flavor than the green part of a scallion?
Chives have a more subtle taste to me than scallions.
chives are life
LOL
thank you❤️
You're welcome 😊
marvelous vid, thank you so much . yet i want to ask you. what is it that has a bulb, but the greens are flat and broad bout 1/4 wide and flat. not the tube as in green onions and they are tuff, i found that out. thus what are they? spring or what??
hard to say without a photo
@@jerryjamesstone good point!! how can i send you one?
But what about the green leaves of actual (red or white or yellow) onions.
I am assuming they are also edible, but what are those laves called?
Thanks for the info in this video. I always got confused about the difference, hahaha
thats a diff video
So what you call the leaf that grow on red onion? Still look like chives
it is similar but typically not eaten at that stage of maturity.
Is that onion chives and garlic chives same
they are not
what are the ones that blades stalks instead of being hollow?
Not quite sure what the question is
I know which ones youre talking about. Kind of like scallions but way bigger. Like half dollar size. I had 3 in the garden last year, odd taste.
@@rayspencer2683
Leeks?
@@Tinky1rs i think so. The bulb was about a quarter size
@@rayspencer2683
I've had leeks ranging from 2 to 5cm diameter. Especially in winter you can get very large leeks.
In Indonesia chive is Gana,,but I have with white flower,,
oh cool
Great question, what are turnips for? for what?
will add to the list
nice kitchen storage
Thank you 😊
You could cook the chives with an omelette - it's only a few mins, it'll still be good.
:-)
Confirmed, i tried this for breakfast today. Just toss them in at the same time as the eggs since the eggs cook real quick too, or maybe even at the very end. But easier to mix if done this way.
@@rubalu0 yeah I add them 30secs before the end, if from the beginning it can already overcook👍
End of the day, different but same same for me.
hmm
Cooking scallions should be a brief cook.. chives are also good in salads.
Thx
Are shallots and chives the same thing like scallions and ordinary onions?
nope! shallots are like a small onion. chives are an herb
I grow my own chives and the white part is perfectly edible it is just really small.
ok but ya
Hi , I'm wondering if the lill purple flowers are edible on the chives too?
Yes!
@@jerryjamesstone thank you, I never ate a flower but I might try it, with the exception of tea that is lol
I like all your points but you can put chives in at the end and just barely cook them they are delicious
👍
In Asian cuisines, chives can be cooked. They're actually the main ingredients in certain recipes.
Good to know!
u look like richard lewis thank you for letting me know about hcives and onion
happy to help
Uhm... You may need glasses haha :P
That's odd, because my grandfather used to grow scallions that did produce bulbs.
Interesting
Actually the chive does have the bulb right before the roots.
not how they are sold though
What about the flavour? Is there any difference?
They have a similar flavor profile.
@@jerryjamesstone thank you
Are the flowers eatable ?
what flowers
@@jerryjamesstone the flowers on the chives..
Chives in India are mostly found in Northeast India and mostly used by Manipuri peoples both Bishnupriya and Meitei.. ||amazing taste||
People from other states, they don't even know this kinda plants were also exist ..
love indian food
It's popular in Punjabi food. Many Sikhs use it to garnish things
@@jerryjamesstone yea there are many plants that we use as curing disease and make our immune system strong .. sometimes we don't have to visit doc also..
Sir do ew know about Petai?
@@priusha Garlic; best vegetable. I challenge you to name a better one ;)
2:20 oh yeah? Cut off the greens of some green onions and replant. The bulbs will absolutely bulk up.
thx
I have wild chives growing all around and they do have bulbs and no they are not insignificant.
If you have ever gotten mixed vegetables and noticed what looks like tiny round onions about 1/4 to 3/4 of.an inch in diameter those are actually chive bulbs and they are very tasty, almost like spring onion bulbs
because this video is about what you are growing?
@@jerryjamesstone yes...exactly...
There are several recipes on this same youtube page that uses chives as an ingredient that is cooked.
nah
do they taste the same?? Because I feel they do?
Disclaimer: I ain't a cook, just eat about everything no matter or quitality 😅
They definitely have a different flavor in my opinion, chives are less oniony
Wait wait in Trinidad we are selling green onion and saying its chives for years has an entire society been wrong.
Different places have different naming conventions
I thought they were the same thing
Nope 😊
You can indeed cook chives.
for sure, you can cook anything
Great but could easily be shortened up to 1 min without losing any sence
you are welcome lol
So you're telling me that the chives I have been growing in my backyard are actually scallions............🙁
😮
i want to see the out take of you trying to pronounce the names in latin.
ha
Chives are Garlic not an onion scallions are GREEN onion
Nope
@@jerryjamesstone actually they are where did you attend culinary school scallions is a regional term for green onions that is a fact
I THINK SCALLIONSAREUBULAR IN THGREN PART WHILECHIVESARE FLATER INSHAPE THATSTHE EAIEST WAY TO DISTINGUISTHESE2 VEGIES
😮
I thought chives are from garlic
nope!
Американцы изучают в чем различие чеснока от рука 😂😂😂😂😂😂 пхахаха
😊
Fly head Taiwanese dish, you do fry the chives... just saying, every rule can be broken (;
For sure
You dont talk about most important thing, taste difference
👍
So many blah blah but didn't blah blah about taste difference. 🤦♂️
blah blah and totally blah
*TUBULAR*
lol
sooooooo... the taste is same? :P
no
@@jerryjamesstone soooo whats the confusion if they look different and taste different?.. why was this explanation needed?
personally i didnt know what chives were :P
👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍
thx
Scallions also have a much stronger flavor than chives.
yes
Jerry watch this video & redo your script. You said the same thing in 3 different ways the first half of the video 🤷🏽♂️
Start your own channel and do it your own fucking way, you’re welcome
why do you hide or never show the root of the chives?
No roots to show
