Can you eat the entire red and yellow onion plant or only the bulb?

Some people seem to think that one can not eat all parts of an yellow or red onion plant.
I have however found recipies where one cuts up the entire green stem and uses that in the dish. There are references to the flowerstem to be very hard and by that not being "edible" but nothing about any part of the actual plant to be poisonus.
There are of course a lot of bulb plants that are poisonus, but the onion is not among those from what I have been able to find.

Onions grow seeds on the tops of their stalks, not inside the bulbs. Their umbels (the flower head on the top of the plant) will dry out and then you have seeds. The bulbs themselves never have seeds inside.
Why is the Bulb of the onion plant so big?
It is big because before leaves sprout, the bulb is the source of food because without leaves, there is no photosynthesis thus no food unless the bulb feeds the plant (which as I said before, it does). The bulb of the onion also stores energy. Hope this satisfies!
