     hmm, do you know the specific species?  there are   
   a lot of alliums and even if someone finds some in   
   the wild they sometimes can come from escaped   
   domesticated varieties.

     i don't see anything obvious saying that they are toxic   
   but i've never done anything like that.  if it tastes good   
   and you don't react poorly to eating it go ahead, but as   
   always i think it a good idea to go light at first and see   
   if your body does react to a new food item.   
      
     my experience with onion seeds is that they have a hard   
   husk on the seed so i've not gone beyond that and instead   
   if i have extra i just bury them deeply so that the worms   
   can eat them eventually.   
      
     i planted some extras this past fall to see if they   
   would survive the winter or not if left out there, we'll   
   see what spring brings.   
      
     let us know what happens, if it is good, etc.  :)
