Sprouted onions are safe to eat and do not need to be removed before using in recipes. The sprouting process is a natural stage of an onion's life cycle, triggered by warm, humid, and light-filled storage conditions. While sprouted onions may have a slightly different taste due to using up sugars for the sprouts, they are generally safe to consume, although avoiding raw preparations is recommended. Proper storage in low humidity areas can help prevent onions from sprouting prematurely.
