The Shallot Onion is a gourmet variety prized for its delicate, mildly sweet flavor and fine, crisp texture. Smaller and more elongated than regular onions, shallots have papery copper-pink skin and purple-tinged white flesh that separates into cloves, similar to garlic.
Their subtle sweetness and refined aroma make them perfect for salad dressings, sauces, vinaigrettes, sautés, and gourmet dishes. When cooked, shallots become soft, caramelized, and slightly nutty, adding depth and elegance to any recipe.
