Shallot Red Sun Approx. 15 Sets

Richly Coloured Shallots with Great Flavour Generous crops of round, copper-red shallots Crisp white flesh with excellent flavour Distinctive red-skinned variety Great for cooking, salads and pickling Ideal for beds, raised beds and containers ‘Red Sun’ is a popular Dutch shallot producing rounded bulbs wrapped in firm, reddish-brown skins with crisp white flesh inside. Its rich colouring makes it instantly recognisable at harvest time and gives it a very different character from the long French shallots such as Jermor and Longor. A good cropper, ‘Red Sun’ produces generous yields of flavoursome bulbs without demanding a huge amount of growing space. The rounded bulbs are particularly useful in the kitchen: use the smaller ones whole for pickling or roasting, and slice larger bulbs for salads, sauces, casseroles and everyday cooking. Once harvested, allow the bulbs to dry thoroughly before storing them somewhere cool, dry and well ventilated. With its distinctive red skins, good yields and excellent kitchen versatility, ‘Red Sun’ earns its place in any productive vegetable plot.
