    CAUTION--There are several plants with onionlike bulbs that are extremely poisonous. Be certain that the plant you are using is a true onion or garlic. Do not eat bulbs with no onion smell.

    widespread, familiar plants with grass-like basal leaves and small 6-petaled flowers. Note the odor of onions. All species are edible. Use as cooked vegetable, pickle, salad, seasoning, cooked green. The underground bulbs are excellent boiled, pickled, added to salads or used as a seasoning. The tender leaves (before the flower stalks appear) can be cooked as greens along with the bulbs or added raw to salads. The green bulblets that form after the flowers bloom on Wild Garlic can be made into outstinding pickles. Do not confuse Field Garlic with Wild Garlic; although its parts are quite edible, they cause a lingering odor similar to that of commercial garlic. Leaves are best in the spring, bulblets in the summer and the bulbs can be harvested all year. Wild onion is pictured.

    Juice from the bulbs is antiseptic, can be used to disinfect minor wounds (but will sting).
