✦ Quercetin ✦ Sulphur compounds ✦ Prebiotic fibre ✦ Mild flavour

Shallots are small, mild alliums with a flavour between onion and garlic. They are richer in quercetin and sulphur compounds than common onions, and provide prebiotic fibres and small amounts of vitamin C.

🍳
Preparation note

Eat raw and finely chopped in dressings to keep quercetin and vitamin C; brief cooking softens flavour without major losses.
