More about Zebrune (Cuisse de Poulet)

Allium cepa

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 echos 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...

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.
