I've used 'eating' shallots from Morrisons as seed shallots and they were fine. It's the luck of the draw but if you are not going to eat them all you have to lose is a few square feet of soil for the summer. In fact you should know in half a summer.

Hi Patricia and welcome to GoY. You've really answered your own question the shallots may have been treated to prevent growth. The only way you will find out if this is the case is by planting them.
