The main question is: Can you pull the greens and not hurt the growth?

To me the greens are so potent of flavor it's hard to resist pulling a leaf to chew on. I'm know to grab a couple for a salad topping as well.

Am I hurting growth?

As long as you don't pull all of the greens from a plant it should be fine. I regularly snip greens from my garlic, shallots and onions.
