Plant of the Day: Allium schoenophrasum
Allium scoenophrasum, more commonly known as chives, contain vitamins A, C, E, and K, along with Calcium, Magnesium, and several others. They can help prevent oral and lung cancers, as well as containing antioxidants.
Chives also contain folates, so if they're eaten during pregnancy, they'll help prevent neural defects in the baby.
The members of the Allium family (some shown below) have anti- tumor effects and reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
