Shallot Powder

Shallot Powder is a dried, ground form of shallot commonly used as a convenient seasoning in many cuisines for sauces, dressings and rubs; it provides the onion-like aroma of fresh shallots without the chopping. Because it’s made from concentrated shallots it delivers more of the vegetable’s flavor per gram but is typically used in small amounts. Nutritionally, powdered shallot can contribute flavor with relatively little fat and some fiber — it contains about 15g of fiber per 100g — and offers small amounts of protein; however, because it’s a spice used sparingly the absolute nutrient contribution in a typical serving is minor. It also supplies trace minerals and B vitamins found in shallots. From a health perspective, powdered shallot is a useful way to add savory flavor without added sugars or significant fat, but it’s not a major source of powerful antioxidants compared with whole fresh alliums; when possible, using fresh shallots will give the same flavor plus more of the intact phytonutrients and water content.Read more
