If you can't recognize most of the plants in the produce section, you really oughta be eating more fruits and vegetables. I don't really like veggies either and I still know more than 10 plants just in the category of food you can buy with a corporate logo on it.

Vegetables are often the root of the plant. Fruits are the… well fruit.

I think the context of this meme is about the plant as a specimen in nature.

Below is a picture of a carrot plant and onion plant.

If not for survival video games i would not have known.

onion flowers are my favorite type of flower. when they're in full bloom they get so pretty. i have a patch of bunching onions that i barely even eat, just keep them for the flowers each year. the patch is growing because each flower produces dozens of seeds

Ever eat the buds? Very much a delicacy. Eat them before they start to open or they get papery.

You can also cut the flowers off after they open, and submerge them in white vinegar for 2-3 weeks, then strain. I do this with chive flowers (packed into the jar, but not so much there’s no room for liquid) and it makes a bright pink garlic chive vinegar that is really lovely. Onion would do the same, but probs look and taste a bit different.
