shallots

About This Food

Shallots, smaller and milder cousins of onions and garlic, are widely used in Asian and European cuisines. The calories in shallots is 30.6 per 100g. They are a good source of vitamin C and dietary fiber, offering antioxidants as well as prebiotics. Shallots may be less suitable for individuals with FODMAP sensitivities. A typical serving size is about 1/4 cup chopped shallots per day. Due to their low calorie count, shallots have a neutral impact on weight management when consumed in moderation. My advice? Sauté them lightly to bring out their sweetness and add depth to your dishes!
