Frequently asked by buyers
What are the ideal storage conditions to maximize the shelf life of shallots?

Shallots should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated space at room temperature to last 2-3 weeks. For extended shelf life up to 4 weeks, refrigeration at 4-7°C is recommended, especially for peeled or cut shallots. Avoid sealed plastic bags and moisture to prevent sprouting and decay.

Which variety of shallots is most suitable for Indian regional dishes like sambar?

The Madras Shallots variety from India is small, aromatic, and widely preferred in Indian cooking, especially for dishes like sambar due to its distinct flavor profile.

What packaging options are available for bulk orders of shallots?

Shallots are supplied in multiple packaging formats suitable for bulk buyers including mesh bags, jute sacks, perforated polybags, and netted sleeves with standard pack sizes ranging from 1 kg to 25 kg or more.

How do shallots differ in flavor and culinary use compared to regular onions?

Shallots have a milder, sweeter taste with subtle garlic undertones and excellent caramelizing ability, making them preferred in gourmet cuisines such as French and Mediterranean cooking unlike the stronger flavor of typical onions.

Are there specific handling instructions to maintain shallot quality during transport?

Yes, shallots should be handled gently to avoid bruising, kept dry and in ventilated containers, and protected from moisture exposure to maintain firmness and prevent spoilage during transport.
