Shallots
The shallot is a cultivar group of the onion. Until 2010, the shallot was classified as a separate species, Allium ascalonicum. The taxon was synonymized with Allium cepa (the common onion) in 2010, as the difference was too small to justify a separate species. As part of the onion genus Allium, its close relatives include garlic, scallions, leeks, chives, and the Chinese onion. The names scallion and shallot are derived from the Old French eschalotte, by way of eschaloigne, from the Latin Ascalōnia caepa or Ascalonian onion, a Ascalōnia caepa or Ascalonian onion, a namesake of the ancient city of Ascalon.
