The shallot has a sweet and gently sharp taste that once cooked lends a silky and savory sweetness to a dish.

Their skin is smooth, or with soft lines. The texture is semi-soft with a very briny, piquant taste and a hint of lemon.

Tarragon is a perennial herb commonly used in cooking. Tarragon leaves are narrow and sword-shaped, and can be used fresh or dried.
