Onions weren’t sprouting when I bought them but now are. Are they okay to use?

Yes they just won’t taste as good, but perfectly safe

Yeah, you can eat the greens too. I’m also kind of curious what the one onion said to the other to cause it to walk away with it’s head hanging low.

this happened to me and I just planted it in some soil, now I have a constant green onion supply!

Flavor profile will be a -little- different but perfectly safe to eat. Garlic too when it does this.

Note: If you do want to plant these, the center will have 2-3 sprouts. You can cut around them and use the rest of the onion for your meal. Put the sprouts in a bowl of water until the roots are nice and long, then plant them to harvest the green parts

I know it’s not helpful but the one on the right looks like Atlas holding up the onion world.

Free green onions! No, but seriously, they tend to get bitter when they sprout, but not dangerous or even bad tasting. Less sweet.

I would say yes but it will probably not taste as potent

Sure, it all goes to make a turd.

The inside can go a bit soft when they sprout, but it isn’t rot and it is still completely edible.
Onion greens are tasty too. When growing onions and garlic from seed, it is common to overplant so you can thin them and have tasty greens for salads or snacking.

The cold of the fridge makes onion and garlic sprout. If you don’t want this outcome, keep them out of the fridge in a cool dry place.

They are fine. Sprouting can pull sugars out for energy so they don’t always taste as good but they’re still ok to eat just a different flavour profile.
