SHALLOT

SHALLOT

Shallots are delicious and low calorie. They resemble onions with a hint of garlicky flavor. Shallots are members of the onion family, but formed more like garlic than onions. Shallots are flavored for their mild onion flavor, and can be used in the same manner as onions. A shallot looks like a small, elongated onion with a copper, reddish, or gray skin. When peeled, shallots will separate into cloves like garlic. Shallots come in three sizes – small, medium and jumbo (the least tasty). The younger shallot, the milder the taste.
