These Pickling Shallots are for pickling only.
They cannot be planted. Our home-grown Pickling Shallots have become a firm customer favourite over the years due to their sweet, soft flavour. They made wonderful pickles for those looking for something a little sweeter, with less of a twang.
Compared to our classic Pickling Onions, our shallots a milder in flavour, pinker in colour, and more oval in shape. We grade our Pickling Shallots to 3 different sizes to meet everyone’s preferences.
Our sizes:
- Baby 20-25mm
- Medium: 25-45mm
- Large: 45mm+
Pair our Pickling Shallots with some tasty sharp Malt Vinegar and some of our favourite Pickling Spice to create fresh, crunchy pickles.
You can buy all of these ingredients together in one of our Complete Shallot Pickling Kits at a bundle price.
Here at Parrish Farms, we grow vegetative shallots and seed-grown shallots.
Appearance: Vegetative Shallots vs. Shallots Grown from Seed
Vegetative Shallots: When you introduce a shallot bulb into the soil, it undergoes division, forming a cluster comprising several bulbs. Due to this clustered growth pattern, shallots propagated vegetatively tend to exhibit a more irregular shape. The precise shape can vary depending on the specific variety and the conditions in which they are cultivated.
Shallots Grown from Seed: These shallots typically possess a more consistent and uniform appearance. They may resemble a small, elongated onion or take on a rounder shape, with the variation primarily dictated by the specific shallot variety. As they do not originate from an existing bulb, they do not tend to cluster in the same manner as shallots propagated through vegetative means
