Shallots taste similar to other cultivars of the common onion, but have a milder flavor. [18] Like onions, when sliced, raw shallots release substances that irritate the human eye, resulting in production of tears. Fresh shallots can be stored in a cool, dry area (0 to 4 °C, 32 to 40 °F, 60 to 70% RH) for six months or longer. [19]
Calçots are milder and less bulbous than onions and have a length of between 15 and 25 cm (white part) and a diameter of 1.7 to 2.5 cm at the root.

The Aggregatum Group of cultivars (A. cepa var. aggregatum) includes both shallots, [12] formerly classed as a separate species, [13] [14] and potato onions. [12] Related species include garlic, leek, and chives. [15] Cepa is commonly accepted as Latin for "onion"; the generic name Allium is the classical Latin name for garlic. [16]
Scallions (also known as green onions and spring onions) are edible vegetables of various species in the genus Allium. Scallions generally have a milder taste than most onions. Their close relatives include garlic, shallots, leeks, chives, [1] and Chinese onions. [2] The leaves are eaten both raw and cooked.
Allium oschaninii, the French gray shallot, griselle or true shallot, is a perennial plant of the onion genus Allium. [2] It forms underground bulbs much like the (French red) shallots, covered by a layer of pale brown-grey skin (hence the common name). [3] It is native to Northeastern Iran and Central Asia. [4]
Onion sprouts not the same as scallions or green onions, but they taste pretty darn similar. So feel free to chop them up and use them in your recipes.
