Shallot Varieties

Dutch Red Shallots

In addition to Dutch Yellow Shallots, I also grow Dutch Red Shallots.

Features:

1) Since this variety can withstand freezes, this shallot does quite if planted in the fall.

2) Each Dutch Red Shallot bulb will produce between 6 and 12 shallots. Typically, I will get about 8 or 9 in a cluster.

3) The wrappers on the bulb are a coppery red.

4) The skin is a light purpleand pink red color.

5) Each Dutch Red Shallot bulb can range between 1 and 4 inches wide.

6) These gourmet shallots have such a mild and sweet onion flavor.

7) They store well too! If stored in a cool and dark location, they can store for a year or more.

Dutch Red Shallots are milder than Red Amposta Onions.
