    i thinks so :smile:

    from google "Yes, just slice them thinly as you know they are tougher than scallions or chives, but they are definitely a veggie that does not have to be cooked."

    thanks for replies

    i like it raw because it taste like onions!

    but wasn't sure if it was actually bad to eat it raw, kinda like mushrooms i secretly ate them raw for years and then found my boyfriend eating them in full veiw of his family - then I realised it was normal!

    Haha :) Raw mushies are great. Just don't eat them raw from your backyard ;)

    As far as I'm aware, the only veggie that shouldn't be eaten raw is eggplant. And olives, but they're really a fruit :P

    Well, I certainly wouldn't eat it like an apple. But I've had a salad with raw potato shavings in it. Not bad.

    He liked them raw too but said too much made him ill lmao
