Shallots have a long history! They come from a class of flowering plants known as Alliaceae. They have been cultivated for 4,000 -- 5,000 years and date back to the ancient Egyptians, Romans and Hebrews. It was the ancient Greeks that gave shallots their name, naming them after a city when they discovered them in the ancient Palestinian port of Ashkalon. Shallots then made their way to Europe in the 11th century.
Similar to onions and garlic, shallots are a bulbous perennial. Shallots are used similarly in cooking like onions and garlic in that they are used to flavor food including (but not limited to), sauces, soups, salads, vegetable dishes and more. Shallots are planted in the early spring and harvested in the summer. They grow in clusters to the size of a small to medium onion.
