Is this true about onions?

I have two onions, one that is whole and is growing green things from the top, and another sliced in half which is growing roots(?) or something and also growing things from the top half. I was about to toss them in the compost bin, but my mom says I can still eat these or put them in the ground to grow scallions? It seemed a bit strange to me, so I thought I’d ask.
i wouldnt eat them, i dont know if that would be bad or not, but it cant hurt to plant them if you were just going to toss them. if scallions grow, cool, if not, no harm done.
onions are bulbs and if you plant them they will reproduce!
never heard you can do that.i thought if you could do that everybody would be growing onions.
ya you can still eat them, they have a little bit different flavor, and you can plant them and it will start to grow little babies. same with potatoes
Yup, Mom told you true. You can still eat them or re-plant. I’ve done the replant. Many plants can be regrown from cuttings.
Good gardening.
