About Echalottes

Echalottes, commonly known as shallots, are small, elongated onions with a refined, mild flavor. Originating from Central Asia and widely used in French, Mediterranean, and Southeast Asian cuisines, they are prized for their delicate taste and versatility. Rich in antioxidants like quercetin and allicin, echalottes contribute to heart health and support the immune system. They are also a good source of vitamins A, B6, and C, along with essential minerals like potassium and manganese. Low in calories and high in dietary fiber, they aid digestion and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. While mostly healthy, they contain natural sugars, so individuals managing blood sugar may want to moderate intake. Whether caramelized in sauces, minced in dressings, or roasted whole, echalottes enhance dishes with depth and complexity. Their impressive nutrition and subtle sweetness make them a valuable ingredient for both gourmet cooking and everyday meals.
