To keep chives fresh, store them in the refrigerator. Wrap them loosely in a damp paper towel and place them in a plastic bag or airtight container. Alternatively, you can stand them upright in a glass of water with a plastic bag covering the top. Use within 5-7 days for optimal flavor. For longer storage, chop and freeze chives in an airtight container or freeze them in ice cube trays with water or oil.
