The bulblets that grow from the top are excellent when peeled and fried. You can even pickle them. Or just pop them in your mouth
Harvesting the topsets: In late summer and autumn The time to pick the tops is when the leafstalk has dried and turned brown. Most likely, fallen over. Despite their name, these plants are very easy to control and keep from spreading just by harvesting the top-sets.
Harvesting the greens: The greens (leaves) may be cut and harvested at any time. If you harvest all the greens from one plant, the plant will probably not be able to produce tops for that year. If the plant is producing several leaf stalks, just harvest one or two of smaller side leaves, and the plant should still produce topsets. Soon after you have harvested the leaves from an Egyptian Walking Onion plant, new leaves will start to grow in their place which can be harvested again. If you live in a mild climate, your Egyptian Walking Onion plant may produce greens all year round. In the fall after the tops have matured and fallen to the ground, or they have been harvested, new greens may start to grow.
Harvesting the onion bulbs in the ground:
The onions at the base of the plant that are growing in the ground and can be harvested in late summer and fall. Leave some onions in the ground for next year's crop. A Walking Onion bulb is about the same size and shape as a shallot. Bigger bulbs may be obtained by cutting off the topsets before they develop. This way the plant can put its energy into the onion bulb instead of into the tops.
