Vegetable
Dutch Yellow
S tier
Dutch yellow shallots are the high-volume copper-gold commercial type—clusters of teardrop bulbs with reliable mild-sweet onion flavour for everyday cooking. Easier storage and shipping than gray shallots. The supermarket default. Dice for pan sauces, roast, or pickle in bulk. Consistent quality for food service. Less ethereal than griselle, fully useful.
