Closely related to onions, shallots are easy to grow and have a distinctive flavour that's sweeter and milder than onions, making them more suitable for using in quiches and sauces. Shallots come in a variety of shapes and sizes. They grow best in a well-drained, fertile soil in full sun, and store well into autumn.

Allium cepa 'Mikor' produces large, round bulbs with reddish-gold skins and good flavour. Each set of this productive variety should yield 8–10 bulbs at harvest.
