A: 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.

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