Shallots belong to the same family as the onions. While the taste of shallots comes close to the onion taste, the shallot has a milder flavour. But can still bring you to tears when you peel the product. Shallots are available in different varieties (round and long) banana shallots, yellow pickle onions, red pickle onions. And are also available in a large variety of prepacked product. Most shallots come from France and Holland, with these two countries we are able to supply our customers year round.

Shallots grow outdoors and are a sun-loving crop. They are thought to be natives of southern Asia, but their precise origin is unknown. There are various types of shallots in different shapes (round or an elongated oval) and colours (varying from brown to grey). Shallots are sown in early spring in rows that are around 30 cm apart. The average weight of a shallot is 20 grams.
