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] It is widely planted in parts of southern France for culinary use.[2]
