minus-squareidiomaddict@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·4 个月前They’re fucking monocots, so way the hell removed (like onions). But none of these plants even share a family, order is the closest it gets.

Completely separate genus. Even though they can be mostly cooked and prepared similarly, they are not related.
