About Red shallot

Red shallot is a shallot type with reddish or coppery outer skin, rather than a precisely specified cultivar. It is used as an aromatic, often finely chopped for sauces, dressings and cooked dishes, or sliced and cooked whole. The bulbs are small and composed of cloves, with pale flesh that may have pink or purple tones.

Raw red shallot has a sharp, onion-like aroma and flavour; cooking softens its pungency and brings out sweetness. It is sold as whole fresh bulbs and may also be peeled, sliced, dried or otherwise processed. Skin colour and intensity of flavour vary among shallots, so this name alone does not establish a particular variety.
