Freeze chives properly – that’s how it works
- Before freezing, cut the chives into small pieces about 0.5 cm long. Do not freeze the stalks of chives uncut, as the stalks are difficult to process when thawed. Tip: It is better to use scissors to avoid crushing the chives.
- Place the chopped stalks of chives in a freezer. Do not stuff the herbs too tightly into the jar. Otherwise, they cannot be easily removed in portions later.
- When you take the chives out of the freezer, you don’t need to thaw them first. You can process the herbs directly in the frozen state.
- Tip: Chives can also be frozen in water or a marinade. In order to be able to remove the chives later in portions, it is best to use an ice cube tray.
