Sprong onions

>>15876951
If you need to ask for a plant identification then you shouldn’t eat it. You could die

>>15876970
They're what >>15876960 said. I just wanna know if it's worth the trouble trying to cook them.

>>15877107
Just use them as you would scallions or green onions.

>>15877107
Better than green onions to be honest, just don't use much.

>>15877107
go for it

If they smell like onions then yes you can eat them. I usually cut them up and use them as baked potato toppings.

I have eaten wild onions before they're not exactly the same as cultivated green onions taste a bit more like grass and worse but they're cool to try

Nice

>>15877107
They're fine as a sub in for spring onions, just dont expect them to be as good as the ones you buy from the store. COULD be better, but the ones near me aren't as "oniony"

Nice thanks.

Any tips on washing them to be safe?

>>15877512
Just wash em with water. If you're super worried I guess you could freeze them to kill bacteria, but if you're gonna be cooking them then who cares.

>>15877512
Dirt is pretty clean desu. I'd rather lick my backyard soil than any of my doorknobs..

>>15877624
There's a slight possibility my dog may have peed on them. Should I throw them out?

>>15877624
Freezing doesn't kill many kinds of bacteria effectively, cooking thoroughly should though

>>15877800
The gross truth is, worse shit can and does find its way into vegetables. If the Chinese can boil eggs in little boy urine as a treat, I think a rinsed/cooked dog piss onion won't kill you

>>15877811
Lol true

>>15876951
the green parts are nice on sandwiches, not so heavy on the taste as normal onions
enjoy :)

>>15876951
Those are chives and they grow back if you just clip the green parts off and you don't rip them out of the ground like a fucking retard.

>>15876951
you should separate them and replant in your yard.
home grown green onions are the best

>>15877512
you're backyard should be cleaner than any grocery store onion.
just rinse with water

>>15878951
I can still replant the roots

>>15879463
Never knew they'd be good. I'll try them tomorrow.

If you're in North Carolina, you should know about ramps.

I have no idea why they call wild spring onions ramps, but they do.

Anyway, they eat the fuck out of them.

>>15880179
OPs pic isn't ramps. Ramps are a different species that probably wouldn't be ready to harvest yet, depending on how far south you are.

OP, you can add them some arborio rice (finely diced) for a nicely flavored risotto maybe.

I wish we had ramps in bongland. I wish we had fiddleheads too, but mainly ramps. They’re god tier.

>>15880149
clip them often. the ones in your pic look shitty like they grew too long. if you let them grow for a long ass time they'll flower. you want the young ones because they're moist and flavorful. the older they get the more dry and flavorless they become.

Where I used to live, there was a forest whose floor got completely covered in wild garlic evry year.
I haven't found something like that where I live now, sadly. Maybe I should go back to my old town and just bring some plants with me to the new place.

Do you use herbicides in your lawn? If you use any chemicals apart from simple fertilizer, then no.

Bump

>>15876951
Yes you can eat them, but they don't taste like normal garlic or onions. Sprinkle them on top of roasted chicken.

You shouldn't eat things that just randomly grow in your yard, go to the store and by proper produce that was handled by professionals.
