In many Jain traditions, chives are usually avoided.

Why:

• Chives belong to the onion family.
• Strict Jain diet avoids onion, garlic, and similar pungent bulbs/herbs because they are considered more हिंसात्मक in diet and are not suitable for sattvic, restrained eating.
• So, for practical Jain observance, chives are generally treated as not allowed.

That said, custom can vary by family and sect, so some households may follow stricter or slightly different rules.
