Allium drummondii, also known as Drummond's onion, wild garlic and prairie onion,[citation needed] is a North American species of onion native to the southern Great Plains of North America.

The flowers appear in April and May, in a variety of colors ranging from white to pink.

[5][6][7] This species of Allium is gathered by Native Americans for its small edible bulbs.

These contain a considerable amount of inulin, a non-reducing sugar that humans cannot digest.

Because of this, these onions must be heated for a long period of time in order to convert the inulin into digestible sugars.
