Allium tuberosum (garlic chives, Oriental garlic, Asian
chives, Chinese chives, Chinese leek) is a species of onion native to
southwestern parts of the Chineseprovince of Shanxi, and cultivated
and naturalized elsewhere in Asia and around the world.
Uses have included as ornamental plants, including cut and dried
flowers, culinary herbs, and traditional medicine.[citation needed] Garlic
chives have been widely cultivated for centuries in East Asia for their
culinary value. The flat leaves, the stalks, and immature, unopened
flower buds are used as flavouring.[23] Another form is "blanched" by
regrowing after cutting under cover to produce white-yellow leaves and
a subtler flavor.[24]
