There are several varieties including the grey or common shallot, which has grey skin and a purple head; the jersey shallot, a round bulb with pink skin; the french shallot also called banana shallot, which has golden copper-colored skin ad a elongated bulb and Asian or Thai shallots, which are a lighter pink.
In France shallots are used in sauces as the flesh dissolves well when cooked; in Asia they are made into pickles. Store in a cool, well ventilated place for up to 1 month.
