100-120 days until harvest. Allium cepa aggregatum. Red shallot sets. Non-GMO, cool-weather biennial. Shallots are prized for their subtle taste and ability to grow multiple bulbs per plant. Red varieties tend to have a milder onion flavor than yellow ones. They're a type of multiplier onion with layered rings like regular onions, but usually smaller. Cooks favor shallots for their gentle onion taste, compact size compared to standard onions, and cooking flexibility. They work well in both raw and cooked recipes. Shallots thrive in cool growing conditions but can handle some warmth.
