Banana Shallot

S tier

Banana shallots (échalion) are elongated single bulbs—larger and easier to peel than cluster shallots, with mild sweet flavour bridging onion and shallot. Popular with chefs for yield per peel. Shape is long like a small torpedo. Slice into rings for tarts, roast whole, or dice efficiently. Ideal when prep labour matters. Sometimes sold as banana onions.
