What is in the case
The supplier states no weight for the 4OZ pack, so we quote it as a pack and publish no price per pound for it. That is a limit of the source, and the reason our figure stays comparable from one week to the next: a per-pound price built on an assumed case weight moves whenever the assumption does.

About Micro chives
Micro chives are cut as straight green spears rather than as leaves, which is what separates them from every other line in the micro range: they sit upright on a plate and they read as a deliberate line rather than as scattered greenery. The flavour is a clean, mild allium, closer to a young scallion than to the chive of a herb bunch. They are the standard finish on eggs, potato dishes and anything with crème fraîche, and they are one of the few micro items a kitchen will use daily rather than for a single dish.
Buying notes
Because they are used by the plate rather than by the handful, a container goes further here than in the leafier lines — work out the real consumption before increasing the order. Check that the spears are dry in the clamshell: chives held damp go slimy at the cut end first, and once that starts the whole container follows within a day.
