Onion seed
Onion seed is a free-to-play item, with a high alchemy value of 6 coins. The simplest way for an Ironman to get Onion seed is to buy it: Draynor Seed Market in Draynor Village sells it for 10 coins, and 2 other shops stock it too.

Ironman verdict
At least 8 monsters drop it. The easiest is Gelatinous abomination (level 2, 1/51.7); the best rate is White Knight (level 35), at 1/16.5, about one every 4 kills. Other sources include Farmer, Wise Old Man/Tasks, Managing Miscellania and Troll brute, plus 4 more listed below. One recipe uses Onion seed: Seedy mush. Onion seed is available on free-to-play worlds too. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 6 coins, which is 4 less than the shop price, so buying it to alch does not pay.
