Saw this on a Riverford post and am tempted to try growing these onions (not shallots).

Last year my biggest success was my tropea onions which were a massive hit in the field kitchen. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Onion cipolla di tropea is an Italian onion that they boast about being the sweetest most attractive onion ever! And chefs love it. You can cook it whole or slice it up. It’s super sweet and delicious. You can also use the tops like a spring onion. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We also strung some up and they looked great hanging in the Field Kitchen. Not one to store for too long but up until Christmas and then they were all used up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s nearly time to sow them so I’ve already ordered more seed"

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
