SHALLOTS- Onions, chives, garlic and shallots are all in the same family. Shallots are among the mildest tasting alliums. Shallots usually have 2-4 cloves per bulb. Use them in place of onions in just about any recipe. They can also stand alone as a roasted vegetable. Shallots have a long shelf life if kept cool and dry, they should last almost a full year. We grow three types of shallots- FRENCH, DUTCH YELLOW and FROG LEGS. We also sell garlic powder and garlic nuggets. We also offer rope netting, available in 300 ft. Rolls. Colors available are blue, green, orange, purple, red and white.
