Allium fistulosum 🌱

In Venezuela it is commonly called chives. It is a species of the onion genus; therefore its taste and smell is very similar to the white onion.

Each leaf has a long and fleshy base, which is closely united with the base of the other leaves. The floral stem is hollow and cylindrical, similar to the leaves, ending in an umbel that produce very small flowers with six seeds, flat and black.

Because of its water and potassium content, it is effective as a diuretic and as an agent to maintain the heart rate and blood pressure. It’s free to use stock photo at will. Thank you’ll.
