With me it is mainly for economic reasons!How else could I get around half hundred weight of onions for a couple of pounds?Then there are all the other reasons, taste, convenience, they don't go up in price when out of season, and I can keep my kids & grandkids well supplied for around ten months of the year.Shallots although not as heavy, supplement the onions, and are nice cooked whole in a roast or stew.And of course they are easy to grow!![Plus I save next years supply of shallots meaning; once I have bought one lot thats it for as long as I keep producing disease free stock.]
