Shallots
The shallot, also known as Northern-European garlic, is tasty and rich in mineral salts. The taste of shallots is more sophisticated and aromatic than other varieties. There are various types of shallots. The two main groups are the ‘planting’ and ‘sowing’ shallots, both named after the way they are cultivated. Shallots are smaller than onions. Their diameter is usually 3-5 centimetres. Shallots are mostly used to prepare sauces and delicate dishes. You can also prepare healthy meals with shallots.
