Greetings to all my beloved community of farms, today I will show you the new projects that I started and with my perseverance, dedication and with the help of my God I will obtain an excellent harvest.

One of my new projects is about creating a sowing of Chives at home.

It is a highly valued herb and used in kitchens around the world to flavor various types of dishes, this can be used in different ways, I use it as a sauce to prepare some soups, fillings, creams, You can also use minced salads or striped as decoration, among others. By having such a delicious and unmistakable flavor, it is very versatile and worth incorporating into our daily diet.

Chives have hollow cylindrical leaves, and their bulbs are smaller than the bulb of the common onion and their taste is similar to that of young garlic. In my opinion the cebollin is the ideal complement for my dishes, it gives a special touch and a very wonderful spicy flavor to my meals.

The sowing and cultivation is very simple, when you go to the market and buy chives you should make the most of your purchase; instead of getting rid of the root, try to cut three centimeters above it, put it in water and once you prepare it is land, orchard, pot or place where you are going to plant them, proceed to plant them, this will serve to eat healthier, andto save money because the chives can be grown throughout the year if the growing conditions are appropriate, and the harvest can be carried out at any time, after the leaves have grown .

• Climate:The ideal temperature for growing chives ranges between 15 and 28 ° C, but can withstand lower temperatures.
• Luminosity: Chives cultivation requires direct sunlight, for this reason before planting you must choose a place with good lighting, however you can also adapt to shaded areas, as long as you can receive direct sunlight.
• Soil: Chives need a well-drained soil, fertile and rich in organic matter. It is advisable to keep the soil moist by avoiding excess water and puddles. The very acidic ones are not suitable for seeding onions. The pH of the soil should be 6 or 7 if the chives are to develop well.
• Irrigation: Regarding irrigation, you have to do it frequently so that the soil stays humid, if you see that the weather is very hot you should water the plant once every day, and once every two or three days if the weather is more wet. It is important to water the chives but avoiding excess water. The adult plant is relatively resistant to short periods of drought.

The scallion is great for our body because it has a lot of nutritional benefits. This provides vitamin A, B and C, proteins, iodine, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, iron, folic acid and polyunsaturated fatty acids. In addition, rich in antibacterial agents that strengthen our digestive system, not to mention that it is detoxifying, prevents cell aging, cancer.

Chives are a bulb vegetable that provides very few calories. One cup contains only 32 calories. In turn, provide 7.3 grams of carbohydrates, 2.6 grams of fiber, 0.1 grams of fat, 4 mg of Omega 3 fatty acids and 70 mg of Omega 6 fatty acids. These last two make it a vegetable more than beneficial for health.

For example, it serves to reduce "bad" cholesterol (LDL), to improve brain functions and to prevent or avoid heart problems and strokes. As if that were not enough, chives are a great source of vitamin K. A cup of raw scallion or chives provides more than 250% of the recommended daily. This nutrient plays an important role in blood clotting, since it prevents the formation of thrombi that clog arteries and cause heart attacks and strokes (ACV for short).

Among the medicinal properties of scallions we have: prevention of cancer, elimination of toxins from the body, prevention of cellular aging, combat of free radicals, stimulation of the immune system, prevention of heart diseases, effectiveness to fight infections by fungi and bacteria, stimulant of appetite in people who undergo surgeries or chemotherapy, improvement of digestion and bone health, elimination of bad breath, effective treatment against depression and fatigue, or elimination of intestinal parasites.

To be able to enjoy most of these properties, it is recommended to consume the green onion or scallion, cut into thin slices, just before eating.
