{"product_id":"taylors-bulbs-6-griselle-shallots","title":"Taylors Bulbs 6 Griselle Shallots","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e'Griselle' is the French grey shallot, often called the 'true shallot' in France, where cooks prize it above all others. Its long bulbs have rough grey skins and purplish-pink flesh with a rich, strong flavour and a slightly spicy edge, more intense than ordinary shallots. It is excellent finely chopped in sauces, vinaigrettes and classic French cooking, and particularly good alongside beef. Each set multiplies through the season into a cluster of bulbs, which can be stored for up to six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePlant the sets from September to November in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Prepare the bed well by digging it over, removing weeds and working in a general fertiliser. Push each set into the soil, pointed end up, 3cm deep and 12cm apart, with about 30cm between rows. Birds and frost can lift newly planted sets, so check the bed every few days at first and firm back any that have been disturbed. Keep the ground weeded and water during dry spells in spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe shallots are ready to harvest in June and July, once the foliage yellows and dies down. Lift the clusters and leave them to dry in the sun for a week or two until the skins are papery, then rub off loose skin and roots. Store them in a cool, dry, frost-free place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePack of 6 shallot sets.
