I'M interested in this seaburn, i love chives but i've never eaten the flowers,are they ok?normally i use the leaves and leave the flowers.i have learnt some -thing to day thanks. :-))

Thanks, SBG. I will try them this evening :o) I've eaten nasturtium flowers before but never chives. I think I'll leave some to to seed too.

use borage flowers too, you can pop them in rice salads too. or pimms if you are really 'posh'.

I took a pinch of petals from one of the flowers this evening - the big one on the right :o)

They had quite a strong taste, with hints of almond. They seemed to leave a sweeter taste than normal too - very nice and destined for the salad bowl over the weekend.
