Production & Sourcing
Dried chopped chives are made by harvesting fresh chives and carefully drying them to remove moisture while preserving their flavor and color. The chives are typically washed, trimmed, and finely chopped before being spread out in a single layer on drying trays or racks. They are then placed in a dehydrator or oven set to a low temperature to slowly dry them. The drying process may take several hours, during which the chives gradually lose moisture until they become crisp and brittle.
