About Crispy shallots

Originating from Southeast Asian cuisines such as Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian, crispy shallots are known for their rich umami flavor and ability to enhance a variety of dishes. Although frying alters their nutritional profile slightly, shallots in their raw form are low in calories and fat while being a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and small amounts of fiber. Their modest carbohydrate content makes them versatile in many diets when consumed in moderation.
