What is the scientific name of red onions?

Answer 1

The shallot(Allium cepa var. aggregatum, or the Aggregatum group A. cepa) is a botanical variety of the species Allium cepa, to which the multiplier onion also belongs.[1] The shallot was formerly classified as a separate species, A. ascalonicum, a name now considered asynonym of the currently accepted name.[2] The genus Allium, which includes onions and garlic as well as shallots, is now classified in the plant family Amaryllidaceae, but was formerly considered to belong to the separate family Alliaceae.

The scientific name is Allium oschaninii

( The shallot)

The varieties of crop plants ( Including onion ) are not given scientific or botanical names .

The onion that you have in mind is internationally known as

" Chinna vengayam ' OR ' Sambar vengayam' as you have described. It is commonly called shallot.

The shallot is a relative of the onion, and tastes a bit like an onion but has a sweeter, milder flavor.

They are more expensive than onions and can be stored for at least 6 months.

Some say you can substitute about 1/2 the amount of finely-chopped onion (preferably red onion) and (optionally) add some garlic in place of shallots.

Unlike onions where each plant normally forms a single bulb, shallots form clusters of offsets, rather in the manner of garlic.
