Description

Red Shallot (Bulb)

Allium cepa var. aggregatum

Synonyms: Allium ascalonicum

NOT TO NT, TAS, WA

  • Purple flesh
  • Sweet, mild flavour
  • One bulb produces 5-12 shallots

Red shallots are small to medium bulbs, a little smaller than an onion, with a sweet, mild flavour. The firm, purple to white flesh can be used in salads, Asian dishes, pickles or casseroles. The tops of the green leaves can also be eaten like a spring onion, leaving at least half the height to provide energy for the bulbs to grow. Shallots can be stored for up to 6 months after harvest.

Shallots are members of the Allium family and grow as a clump (or 'set') loosely attached at the base. If you have struggled to grow onions in the past, shallots are more forgiving and will not disappoint, each bulb multiplying from one bulb to 5-12 shallots in 13-18 weeks.

Red Shallot (Bulb)

Easy to grow. My first time at shallots. I'm curing them on a chicken wire frame hung under my pergola. Will be delicious in with the roast veggies! Definitely doing these again!
