Shallots are a type of small, elongated onion with a mild, slightly sweet flavor and a hint of garlic undertone. They have a papery, reddish-brown or purple skin and are known for their delicate texture and ability to blend seamlessly into dishes. Shallots are prized in gourmet cooking for their ability to add depth and complexity to recipes without overpowering other flavors, making them a versatile ingredient in both raw and cooked forms.

Store shallots in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, such as a pantry or countertop, away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture and lead to spoilage. For longer storage, keep them in a mesh bag or a basket. Do not refrigerate unless peeled or chopped; in that case, place them in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week.
