Organic Grey Shallots (lb)

Rustic Organic Grey Shallots are small in stature and gloriously big in personality. Their textured grey skins hide purple-white flesh with the concentrated aroma and old-world character that make this distinctive shallot a favorite of adventurous cooks.

The flavor is earthy and savory, combining shallot sweetness with a gentle garlic-like finish. Mince the bulbs for vinaigrettes and herb sauces, roast them beside vegetables or poultry, or sweat them slowly into soups and pan sauces.

Plant in fall with the growing tip near the surface and make excellent drainage a priority. Lift the clusters around mid-summer as the foliage collapses, then cure carefully and enjoy them early in the storage season.
