Our chives flakes are cut to 1-5mm as standard. We can also process to a custom mesh size on request, and if you need a coarser or finer cut, our minced (1-3 mm) or granule (0.2-1 mm) grades may suit better.
25 kg for a trial order, and 100 kg and above for bulk and export orders.
Chives flakes carry a 12-month shelf life from date of manufacture. Store in a cool, dry place below 20°C, in a closed warehouse, away from humidity and dust, to retain the full shelf life.
Dehydrated chives flakes rehydrate at approximately 1:4, and the hot-air drying process retains natural aromatic compounds, so they carry a concentrated version of fresh chives' mild onion-garlic flavour. We recommend requesting a free sample to test the exact substitution ratio and flavour intensity for your specific formulation.
Stock items typically ship the same day. Custom orders (specific mesh size, packaging or private label) usually take 2-3 working days.
Chives flakes are used across soups, stews and casseroles, dry rubs and savoury snack seasoning, chives bread and bakery toppings, pickles and marinades, ready-to-eat (RTE) and HoReCa food preparations, and pet food formulations.
Yes, we provide a Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and relevant quality documentation on request with each batch, covering parameters such as moisture, ash content and microbial testing. Share your specific certification requirement (FSSAI, ISO, HACCP, etc.) with our team before or during sampling.
Dehydrated/dried chives are commonly classified under HS Code 0712.90 (dried vegetables, other) within Chapter 7 of the Harmonized System. Please confirm the exact code with your customs broker, since classification can vary slightly by destination country and product form.

Dehydrated chives flakes are fresh chives sliced to 1-5mm and dried under controlled hot-air dehydration, leaving behind a shelf-stable ingredient that carries the same pungency and aroma as the fresh bulb. As a bulk dehydrated chives flakes manufacturer and supplier in Tamil Nadu, we produce flakes to a consistent particle size and colour, batch after batch - without the cold-chain, peeling labour, or short shelf life that fresh chives requires. If your formulation needs a different cut, we also supply minced chives and chives granules on request.
Standard flake size is 1-5mm, with a creamish-white colour and the typical pungent aroma of chives. Flakes rehydrate at approximately 1:4 and are widely used wherever a visible, textured chives piece is preferred over a fine powder - in soups, stews, casseroles, dry rubs and savoury snack seasoning.
Farm-fresh chives are inspected and graded on arrival, then peeled, washed and sliced to a 1-5mm flake before controlled hot-air dehydration. The dried flakes are sieved for uniform particle size, passed through metal detection, and packed in moisture-proof bags to lock in flavour and extend shelf life. The process is designed to retain the natural colour and delicate onion-garlic flavour of fresh chives.
Beyond flavour, dehydrated chives flakes retain much of fresh chives' nutritional value. They retain natural antioxidants and vitamin K, and are commonly associated with immune support, heart and cardiovascular wellness, and healthy blood pressure levels.
Dehydrated chives flakes are used across multiple food manufacturing segments:
As a leading dehydrated chives flakes supplier in Tamil Nadu, we hold every batch to the same quality benchmark and consistent particle size.
