Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6818) or the full path ("Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables > Shallots"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.

Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

This path contains a comma, so the cell has to be quoted: unquoted, a CSV reader splits "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables > Shallots" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 6818, contains no comma.

Questions about Shallots

What is the Google product category ID for Shallots?

6818. The full path, "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables > Shallots", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.

Is anything more specific than Shallots available?

No. Shallots is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 6818 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.

Where does Shallots sit in the taxonomy?

At level 5, under Fresh & Frozen Vegetables (5793). The chain from the top is Food, Beverages & Tobacco → Food Items → Fruits & Vegetables → Fresh & Frozen Vegetables → Shallots. If your product does not belong under Fresh & Frozen Vegetables, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Shallots is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Fresh & Frozen Vegetables first — there are 57 other categories at this level: Arracachas (6716), Artichokes (6570), Asparagus (6568), Beans (6577), Beets (6580), Borage (6587), and 51 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Fresh & Frozen Vegetables (5793) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Shallots compared with the categories next to it?

It is 52th largest of the 58 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
