TomorrowSeeds - Zebrune Shallot Seeds - 200+ Count - For 2026 Planting Heirloom Gourmet French Pink

Zebrune Shallot is a beautiful heirloom banana-type shallot from France, where it is called "Echalion Cuisse de Poulet du Poitou" or, "Leg of the Chicken Shallot". These shiny pink-brown shallots have light pink flesh and have a sweet and mild flavor that is prized by gourmet chefs. Their high sugar profile and easy-to-peel elongated shape suits them perfectly for caramelizing. In contrast to onions, shallots have thinner layers and are quicker to lose their pungency in cooking, leaving a delicate yet high depth of flavor while retaining their crunch. When raw, they have a powerful flavor with less bite. Shallots are excellent for roasting whole in tarte tatins and curries, pairing with chicken and fish, caramelizing with steak, pickling, and chopped in soffritos and vinaigrettes. Zebrune shallots store well after curing.

Also Known As: Echalote, Esharotto, Eschaliion, Banana Shallot, Semi-Long Shallot, Pink Shallot, Ulle, Torshi, Mooseer, Sibuya.
