Dried chives from Malwatte, packed in a flat printed sachet that holds 4g. Chives are the thin hollow leaves of a plant in the onion family; dried and chopped, they add a gentle onion flavour and a fleck of green.
Dried chives are very light, so 4g goes further than the weight suggests. Malwatte Valley Plantations PLC has exported since 1992 and processes and packs its spices in its own factories, which hold ISO 22000 certification.
In the pack
- 4g of dried chives
- Flat printed sachet with the newer green Malwatte label
The newer green label prints the name in English, Sinhala and Tamil, the words "All Natural", the net weight, a use within 60 days of opening reminder and the marks ISO 22000, HACCP, GMP and Rainforest Alliance.
In the kitchen
- Fold into scrambled eggs and omelettes
- Stir into mashed or baked potatoes
- Mix into soft cheese, yoghurt or sour cream for a dip
- Scatter over soups and salads just before serving
Storage
Keep the sachet tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. The label asks you to use the contents within 60 days of opening; tipping them into an airtight jar after opening helps.
