Description: 3 count/bag. Sweet and mild flavor. Shallots and onions are both members of the allium family, but they have distinct differences in taste, texture, and culinary uses. Shallots are milder, sweeter, and more delicate than onions, with a subtle hint of garlic. They grow in clusters, similar to garlic, whereas onions grow as single bulbs. Onions tend to have a stronger, more pungent flavor, making them ideal for bold dishes, while shallots are often used in salad dressings, sauces, and gourmet recipes where a more refined taste is preferred. Nutritionally, shallots contain more fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants than onions, but onions are lower in calories. If you're cooking and need a substitute, three small shallots can replace one small onion, though the flavor will be slightly different.
