Garlic Bulbs

Varieties:

• Elephant Garlic - Elephant Garlic earned its name for its size, how it smells and for how it tastes but not because it is garlic. It’s actually a member of the leek family.
• California Garlic - This is a great variety as it is an early season harvest, offers a nice mild flavor, stores well, and produces 10 to 16 cloves per head. What more could you want?

Shallots

• Red Biztro Shallots
• Yellow Moon Shallots

Where would be without shallots? They're often seen in French cuisine, where they're featured in classic sauces such as mignonette. They're also indispensable to Asian dishes—often crisp-fried or ground into curry pastes.

Milder in flavor than red onions, but more assertive than yellow, with a hint of garlic flavor. Uses: Thinly sliced and fried for topping Thai curried noodles, congee, or deviled eggs; minced into basic vinaigrettes for added crunch and flavor. You'll need shallots to make the Ultimate Thanksgiving Green Bean Casserole, and we love them roasted under a whole chicken.

All of the onion varieties below, vary slightly in flavor, texture, and color, but can usually be substituted for one another. In terms of cooking, they will all behave the same in the pan.
