FRENCH

French Shallots are popular with gourmets for the smooth, rich onion flavor they possess. Maturing in late summer, each bulb will have divided to produce a cluster of bulbs ready for fresh cooking, pickling, or making vinaigrette. Finely sliced, deep fried shallots are used as a condiment in Asian cuisine. Stores up to 6 months. Shallot bulbs are shipped only in the fall—starting in mid-September, depending on the season and the variety. Approximate bulbs per pound is 15–30, but this can vary based on seasonal conditions and the variety. Shallots need to be planted shortly after arrival. Quantities are limited; order early for best availability. Sorry, not available to Idaho, US Territories, or Canada.
