Sprouted Onions: Safe to Eat? What You Need to Know Before Tossing Them

• Sprouted onions are generally safe to eat; the green shoots are like spring onion greens.
• Nutrients shift to the sprouts, making the onion soft, less sweet, and potentially bitter.
• Use the green sprouts in cooking for Vitamin C; remove the yellowish core of the onion.
• Best for cooking or tempering, avoid raw consumption due to altered taste and texture.
• Discard if the onion is very soft, watery, or has black mold, as these indicate spoilage and health risk.

Why It Matters: Don't discard sprouted onions; they're safe if inspected, but best used in cooking.
