Shallots are small, bulb-like onions known for their mild, sweet flavor and subtle hints of garlic. Originating from Central Asia, they are widely used in French, Southeast Asian, and Mediterranean cuisines, adding depth to savory dishes, dressings, and sauces. Packed with essential nutrients, shallots are rich in vitamins A, C, and B6, along with manganese and potassium, which support immune function, skin health, and heart health. They also contain antioxidants and compounds like allicin, believed to reduce inflammation and promote cardiovascular well-being. Shallots are low in calories and fat, making them a healthy addition to meals. However, individuals with sensitivities to sulfur-containing foods may need to consume them in moderation. Their versatile flavor and nutritional profile make shallots a popular choice for those seeking healthy, flavorful ingredients in their cooking.
