Dried Chive Bulbs (Alliun Odorum) – Premium Pungent Spice & Natural Wellness Ingredient

1. Introduction to Chive Bulbs (Allium Odorum)

Chive Bulbs, also known as Allium Odorum or Small White Onions, are a prized specialty spice from the sandy central regions of Vietnam. Although small in size, they possess a much more intense, pungent aroma and flavor compared to regular garlic or shallots.

Commonly used in traditional Asian medicine and gourmet cuisine, our Dried Chive Bulbs are carefully harvested, cleaned, and dried to maintain their bioactive compounds (such as Allicin) and signature sharp scent. They are the “soul” of many iconic Central Vietnamese dishes and a rising star in health-focused food formulations.
