Dehydrated Chives Flakes

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.

Stock items typically ship the same day. Custom orders (specific mesh size or packaging) usually take 2-3 working days.
