There is a thin layer of dry, papery skin on an onion bulb which has to be peeled off, and is not edible; every other part of the onion is edible, including the leaves if the bulb is allowed to sprout. Raw onion has a rather strong flavor, which has to be used in moderation - just a bit of chopped raw onion is nice on a hamburger. Fried onion develops a much milder, savory flavor. Chopped onion leaves (green onion) go well in soup.
