Allium monanthum, the Korean wild chive,[2] is a spring vegetable with minuscule bulbous roots that have a mild onion flavor and found in the woodlands of Korea, Japan, northeastern Russia (Primorye), and northeastern China (Hebei, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning).

[3][4][5][6][7] Allium monanthum is unusual in the genus in being usually dioecious (male and female flowers on separate plants), but rarely hermaphrodite or gynomonoecious.

Having a similar flavor profile to Tree onion, Korean wild chives can be eaten raw or blanched as a namul (seasoned herbal vegetable dish), pickled as a jangajji, or pan-fried to make buchimgae (pancake).

Soy sauce based dips are often flavored with Korean wild chives.

In North Korea, radish water kimchi flavored with Korean wild chives is a popular spring banchan (side dish).
