Like garlic and onions, the shallot is a member of the Liliaceae family. It originates from Central Asia and has been cultivated since ancient times. Appreciated for its beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, it also aids digestion.
There are two categories: thegrey shallot and theJersey shallot.
The bulb of the long shallot is elongated and regular, with a coppery yellow skin and brightly coloured flesh. It has a fine flavour and a strong aroma. The long shallot is earlier than the half-long.
The bulb of the semi-long shallot is rounder, with a coppery pink or red tunic.
This is the least common. The round shallot is grown mainly in eastern France.
Mainly grown in the south and east of France, the grey shallot has a strong flavour and a medium shelf-life (6 to 7 months).
