About

Shallots shallot, sometimes called the "multiplier onion", is a variety of the onion that feels like a cross between garlic and onion.

Similar to garlic, shallots are formed in clusters of with a head composed of multiple cloves.

Their skin color can vary from golden brown to gray to rose red, and their off-white flesh is usually tinged with green or magenta.

Shallots are much favored by chefs because of their firm texture and sweet, aromatic, yet pungent, flavor.

The shallot is a relative of the onion, and tastes a bit like an onion, but has a sweeter, milder flavour.

They can be stored for at least 6 months.
