ShalIots Grow Like Garlic

Shallots grow in cloves like gar
lie, the entire bulb being pear
shaped. Top and bulb are used for
salads and are popular with those
who like more delicate flavor than
a mild onion. Leeks are larger than
shanots, have fiat leaves and but
little bulb formation. Leaf and bulb
may be cooked or used raw,
chopped into salads. Chives are the
only variety of which only the hol-
low grasslike leaves are used. They
are chopped into salads and cottage
cheese and are a favorite to grow
in pot on the kitchen window sill
because they keep growing after
cuttings and supply fresh onionlike
flavor when needed.
