Shallot Seeds (Moseer Bulbs)

Shallot seeds, known as the black grains harvested from the shallot pods, are considered rare and economical. These seeds are usually sown at 30 to 35 kilograms per hectare and are unique because they are planted only once but reach production and harvesting after 6 to 7 years.

The main advantage of this cultivation is sustainability: after the first harvest, the bulbs remain in the soil and naturally regrow year after year, ensuring continuous yield without replanting.

These seeds are mostly used for dryland farming, and under proper management, the yield per hectare is reported between 5 to 10 tons — a figure that highlights the stability and unique performance of shallots in low-water farming.

After harvesting, shallot seeds are cleaned and sorted using advanced seed-cleaning machines. Only large, heavy, and healthy seeds are selected, while hollow or low-quality ones are discarded. These seeds are sourced from the best and most productive farms to guarantee the final product’s quality.

Another benefit is that once planted, the crop remains in the soil for years. Each small bulb typically produces 2 to 3 new bulbs annually, ensuring self-regeneration and long-term productivity without uprooting.
