Can You Use an Onion with 5" Green Growth?



Getting ready to make an omelet for an exceptionally late breakfast, I found this onion. I don't know about you, but normally, I'd simply feed this to the worms and select another onion.

But it was my last one.

I cut the green top off and split the onion in half. This is not attractive.

Picking out the brownish-green layers left me with not very much onion.


I went ahead and diced the onion as well as some red bell pepper and softened them in butter in a cast iron pan before making them omelet components.


The onion parts I used didn't taste funky at all. So, yep, turns out you can use some of an onion even if it's on the way to being a full-fledged plant.
