Fresh Shallots

Fresh Shallot is a small, mild member of the onion family commonly used in French, Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern cooking for its sweet, delicate onion–garlic flavor. It’s often used raw in vinaigrettes or thinly sliced for finishing dishes, and also browns well when sautéed to add depth without the harsh bite of a large onion. In addition to contributing flavor, Fresh Shallot provides notable micronutrients and is a low-fat, low-calorie garnish—particularly offering 101µg of vitamin K per 100g. It also supplies modest amounts of fiber and plant protein while adding aroma and complexity to dishes with very few calories. Overall, shallots are a nutrient-dense aromatic: they help increase vegetable variety and satiety in meals, supply useful vitamins and minerals, and contribute beneficial flavor compounds that support a healthy, balanced diet.
