Zebrune is an heirloom variety of echalion or banana shallot originating from western France, where it is known locally as Cuisse de Poulet du Poitou or "leg of the chicken." With their fancy shape, a skin color that echo's of rose gold, and tender, delicately flavored interiors, Zebrune could fool one into thinking that they would be difficult to grow, but that just isn't the case. This easy-to-grow variety excels when planted from seed in early spring, producing a heavy yield of well-formed shallots with very little effort. They grow very similarly to a common onion and have a similar flavor profile, but are milder and slightly sweet, with a small interior cell size that gives them a very tender quality. Zebrune shallots are ideal for sauteing and roasting, and we had rave reviews when we used them in place of onions in our favorite cucumbers and onions recipe last summer. They presumably would be good in any pickling recipe that calls for onions. Holds well in storage. Matures approximately 100 days after transplant. Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds. Note: Zebrune is a seed shallot and will produce seed if replanted. It does not multiply by division as is the case with some other types of shallots.
