In Asian food white lily bulbs are often added to stir fries. They are light and crisp and easy to cook. However I have been wondering can I eat my old daffodil and tulip bulbs? I dont keep them for replanting and so I wonder if I can add them to a stir fry. Is there a book on this?
I often eat Lily bulbs which taste fantastic when lightly stir fried. How many bulb types are edible?
All onions, leeks, green onions/scallions and garlic.
I know squirrels won't eat daffodil bulbs but they will eat tulip bulbs.
Reply:Thank you; I watched a gardening show on Saturday on PBS and the horticulturist said Lillies were edible, at least the petals, perhaps more as I wasn't paying 100% at the time. Report It
Reply:I certainly eat the female flowers of the zucchini plant particularly if the fruit is forming right behind them and nasturtium blossoms, quite peppery. Report It

a green bum.
Reply:onions and leeks are bulbs...
Reply:I'm not sure if you can eat them.
But one type of bulb I know you shouldn't eat is a light bulb.

No, DO NOT EAT THEM. They can cause violent vomiting and other things. You will feel nauseous, you will vomit if you eat a whole bulb, and other things such as that. You may even become hospitalized. In a nutshell, they are poisonous. (Daffodil bulbs, I mean. I don't know about tulip bulbs. Do some research online.)
