"Wild onions! That’s food! We’d take them back to our fort in the woods, and chop them up or crush them or store them in bushels, pretending to make food in our kitchen of log countertops."
"...I’ve researched and come up with some good answers to those questions and to yours: what are the types of wild onions, and how do you identify them?"
"The first type of wild onion is the stereotypical wild onion, the Allium canadense, also called wild garlic or meadow garlic."
"These onions have wide, flat green leaves on the top. Farther down to the stem, you'll see the color change from green to red (the stem is red)!"
"...Allium Cepa, which goes by the name of "shallot" as well. These wild onions are more exotic, native to Asian countries rather than Western ones."
