Shallots are a botanical variety of onion that were previously classified as a separate species, Allium ascalonicum, until 2010. They are closely related to other Allium plants such as garlic, scallions, leeks, chives, and Chinese onions. Shallots are used extensively in cooking, particularly in South Indian cuisine where they are known as "sambar" onions. The name "shallot" comes from the ancient Canaanite city of Ashkelon, where the Greeks believed they originated. Shallots are also known as "eschalot" and are used in a variety of dishes, including pickled shallots, crispy shallot chips, and as a condiment in Asian cuisine. They are a rich source of vitamin B6 and a moderate source of manganese and vitamin C. Shallots are propagated by offsets and are typically planted in autumn or early spring. They are a popular ingredient in European and Asian cuisines, and their leaves can also be eaten.
