Default onions gone to seed - edible stems ?

Hello,

My red onions went to seed this year. I picked off the flower heads but
the 'stems' have grown strongly.

Are the stems edible ? They have a fine strong smell !

I've found that the stems of onions gone to seed are stringy, you can use
them to flavour soups etc, but remove them afterwards.
