Fresh Chives

🌿

Herb · French · European · American

A dominant 7.4/10 rating on the spice-horseradish aroma axis marks this herb, primarily driven by high concentrations of dipropyl-disulfide and thiosulfinates. The taste vector shows an exceptionally flat profile across sweet, sour, and fat axes, emphasizing that the primary sensory impact is aromatic rather than gustatory.
