Allergy: What is a shallot exactly? It’s a type of onion and a member of the Amaryllidaceae plant family. Just like onion nutrition – and garlic, too, another closely related vegetable – shallots are known to have strong anti-cancer properties and immune-enhancing effects.
Historically, shallots have been used for both for their nutritional and aromatic properties in Indian, Asian, French and Mediterranean cooking. They not only add a sweet and pungent flavour to recipes, but they also come loaded with antioxidants, vitamin A, vitamin C and some important minerals, too.
Shallots are considered an important plant in Indian medicinal practices and are commonly prescribed as an effective remedy for several ailments in the Ayurvedic system of healing. In fact, they’ve been used to heal numerous bodily conditions for thousands of years – both internally and externally. In Ayurveda, shallots and other onions are believed to have a natural “cooling” effect on the body, which makes them beneficial for lowering inflammation, muscle aches, swelling and water-retention.
What is a shallot used for today? Just like other types of onions, shallots can either be eaten raw or cooked, which makes them versatile and easy to incorporate into recipes you’re already making. Acting as a natural cancer treatment, reducing food allergies and detoxifying the body are all known benefits of eating shallots and other onions.
Shallots: Anti-Inflammatory, Antioxidant & Anti-Allergen Benefits
Even though they’re smaller, sweeter tasting and usually used less in common recipes, shallots are thought to contain more flavonoid and phenol antioxidants than most other members of the onion family! This makes them one of the best anti-inflammatory foods for reducing free radical damage and fighting various chronic diseases. Plus, with their ability to add tons of natural flavour to recipes without many calories at all, why not use shallots and other onions more often when you cook at home?
Two sets of compounds make up most shallots’ known healing properties: sulphur compounds, such as allyl propyl disulphide (APDS), and flavonoids, such as quercetin. These compounds’ effects are primarily how both onions and garlic have benefits for reversing disease.
According to a report published in the Indian Journal of Experimental Biology, both onions and garlic contain protective sulphur-containing compounds mainly in the form of cysteine derivatives called cysteine sulfoxides. These wind up naturally decomposing when you eat them because they interact with your digestive enzymes, in the process producing beneficial compounds called thiosulfates and polysulfide. These special decomposed products are considered valuable, but delicate. They are mostly found in the oils of onions and garlic.
Because they hold most sulfoxides, the oils of shallots (and other onions too) possess “antidiabetic, antibiotic, hypo-cholesterolaemic, fibrinolytic and various other biological actions.” This means they can help control blood sugar levels, help prevent insulin resistance, fight bacterial and viral infections, help lower cholesterol levels naturally and prevent blood clots from forming.
Other studies also show that shallots and other allium veggies or herbs have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties that benefit skin, blood vessels, digestive organs and muscle tissue.
Shallot Nutrition Facts
