Food Use

• Probably the best known wild food.
• "Will keep a long time, because their skins dry and preserve the flesh inside."  (Kindscher, 1987)
• "It is important to cut the onions properly.  When onions are simply cut crosswise, they remain in small, round chunks even after cooking.  A better way is to cut them diagonally into thin slices so that the layers are more apt to separate and the flavor will blend in with other ingredients."  (Young, 1993)
