Growing this French gourmet shallot is one of the rewarding projects for any lover of quality garden vegetables and traditional French gastronomy. After sowing, the seeds develop best in warmed substrate and the young seedlings gradually form the first spiky leaves, from which fully developed plants producing underground pear-shaped bulbs develop throughout the season. The variety appreciates sunny locations with well-drained fertile soil, where it has enough space for the development of the root system and the bulbs themselves. The characteristic pink-purple skin and delicate aromatic flavour make this variety a popular ingredient for French sauces, salad dressings, stir-fries and for braising with meat. Regular watering during dry periods, moderate fertilisation during the growing season, and a sunny position support stable plant development and the quality of the resulting bulbs. Harvesting occurs when the above-ground part begins to dry naturally and the bulbs are fully developed. After harvesting, it is advisable to dry the bulbs briefly and store them in a cooler, dry space where they will maintain their quality for a long time. The higher number of seeds in this package allows for the sowing to be divided into several stages, thus extending the harvest period. For anyone interested in growing noble French vegetable varieties, the shallot Cuisse de Poulet Echalion represents an interesting choice with high culinary and cultivation value.
