About This Food

Shallots are a type of onion, widely used in Asian and European cuisines to add a mild, sweet flavor to dishes. The calories in shallot is 30.6. Shallots are a good source of vitamin C and fiber. They also contain quercetin, an antioxidant. They are generally suitable for most people, but those with onion allergies should avoid them. A typical serving size is around 1/4 cup per day. Adding shallots to your diet is generally weight-neutral and won't significantly impact weight gain or loss. My tiny suggestion is to try roasting them for a sweeter flavor.
