Zebrune is a popular French heirloom "banana" shallot (eschalion) known for its elongated shape, copper-pink skin, and mild, sweet flavor. Often called Cuisse de Poulet de Poitou, this easy-to-peel variety is highly favored by chefs for roasting, caramelizing, and raw in vinaigrettes. It matures in roughly 100 and stores well
