₹200.00
Siachen Naturals’ Wild Chives are carefully hand-harvested from the pristine mountain slopes of Siachen Valley, where these aromatic Allium species have been treasured by Ladakhi communities for centuries. Known locally as Skotse or wild garlic chives, the tender shoots and leaves are traditionally collected in summer, crushed into a paste, and sun-dried into circular cakes to preserve their fresh, pungent flavor. Wild chives add a unique, savory note to Ladakhi dishes like tangthur, thukpa, and local pickles, embodying the essence of Himalayan wild herbs.
