The leaves, flowers, and bulb of this somewhat invasive introduced species are all edible and smell of garlic when crushed
Basically the entire plant of this species can be used nearly year-round as a replacement or extender for onions or chives. Bulbs can be pickled and are best harvested in late spring.
In addition to its edibility, field garlic has digestive and antimicrobial properties and can even reduce blood pressure. Look for its hollow, garlic-scented leaves in your local lawns and pastures.
