|name = Wild Onion
|image = Allium canadense.jpg
|description = Wild Onion has an edible bulb covered with a dense skin of brown fibers and tastes like an onion. The plant also has strong, onion-like odor. The narrow, grass-like leaves originate near the base of the stem, which is topped by a dome-like cluster of star-shaped, pink or white flowers. It typically flowers in the spring and early summer, from May to June.
|seasons = Spring - Winter
|range = Throughout North America
|use = Use the leaves and bulbs raw in '''salads''', or cook them in a '''soup'''. Basically, use them as you would domestic onions.
|warning = Though the plant is edible, it pays to be careful in identifying it as there are several look-a-likes. So be sure to do more research before eating plant.
