Shallots
Shallots are the plant variety of onions. Part of the onion family Allium, its close relatives, include garlic, scallions, leeks, chives, and scallions. Shallots form in clusters with heads made up of multiple cloves. Freeze-dried shallots are also bright green and are very uniform minces, which are easy to quantify and pack, and the aroma is not lost compared to fresh shallots.

Tips
Shallots are commonly used in cooking. They can be pickled or finely sliced and deep-fried to be used as a condiment in Asian cuisine. Shallots have a milder flavor than regular onions. When sliced, they release substances that can irritate the human eye and cause tears. Fresh shallots can be stored in a cool, dry area for six months or longer.
