Chime in for Chives!

Here’s a possible “super food” you don’t hear a lot about – Chives. They may have health benefits similar to garlic and onions, as they contain mild versions of sulfur compounds that can reduct your risk of cancer.

And they’re tasty, too – and sometimes easier to eat than their garlicy and oniony relatives! Chives go well with cream cheese, cottage cheese, cream sauces, butter sauces, fish, chicken, broths and cream soups such as potato or asparagus soup.

If you’re growing them yourself, you can cut and freeze chives. Before the plant blooms, cut the plant down to about three inches. Chop up and freeze the greens for later use. The plant will soon grow back.

The power of foods to prevent and cure disease is truly amazing, and often something taken for granted. Those anti-cancer compounds found in foods in the garlic and onions family have the unique power to protect against cancer. Chives can enhance almost any savory dish with their delicate flavor, while potentially making your healthier at the same time.

I’m a huge advocate for the idea of anti-aging from the inside out. Foods and vitamins are a great way to do this, and I talk about many other ways in my anti-aging Report.
