Dried Shallots

I use some of these everyday in my scrambled eggs for breakfast. Game changer! They are delicious and having such a big bag is nice so I don’t have to worry about running out. I add a food safe desiccant pack to them and store them in an airtight glass container so they don't get soggy.

So far I have used this for making sauces. An hour or so before starting to cook, I reconstitute in wine. Have used with red wine for beef and white wine for chicken, pork and shrimp. The shallots keep some texture. I like that but others may not. It will be a long time before these run out. Fresh is best but hard to find in a decent size where I live. Compared to this dehydrated product, fresh is also quite costly. I am very pleased with this product.

Excellent transaction and product. Fast shipping, item was fresh and within date.

These add so much flavor that I used up the whole pound bag a lot faster than I thought. The purple skins need to be picked out as well as a few crowns. If you pre-hydrate them you can pick the skins out while you are waiting....they float or are so large its easy to get most of them out. But when I am in a hurry, I just throw them in to whatever I am cooking and tell hubby to pick or spit the skins out or think of them as added fiber. I need another bag soon, and am on the fence about purchasing these again. Best flavored onion-type dehydrated I have, but the chives and onions I use have much better quality control, just not the flavor. If anyone has bought these in 2026, please write a review and let us know if the quality has gotten better. The price and flavor are awesome, but the last of the bag seems to have more skins in it sadly. I may just put it in a cheese bag and use it in my bone soup broths.Then freeze the broth to add to my sauces, chili, soups, and stir frys. Not as convenient, but I can do it while I am doing other stuff. I will hold off purchasing until someone says their bag is at least less filled with skins. I am not sure they deserve 1 star, but niether do they deserve 5 star rating imo. I bought mine in beginning of 2025 I think.

This is my second bag of shallots from you and I was very happy with the first order, so came back to you when I needed more. The second bag was received yesterday, via Amazon on 12 November 2024. You can see that the pieces are much larger and much of the bag is full of the very thin outer (non-edible) skins found on large, older shallots. I have tasted some of the better pieces and they taste good, but this bag must have been the last in the batch and packaged up with spoons' full of dust and outer casings. This is not good quality control. In order to use any of them they will have to be hand sorted, which is not part of my cooking plans. I am most disappointed in the order. It will be my last one from this source. I contacted the company as they requested on the package, but there has been no response. The item cannot be returned according to Amazon. Very disappointed.

Could be chopped a bit smaller, and peeled a bit beter.

I purchased these because the fresh shallots I purchase often go bad before they are used. These shallot pieces are not as crispy as I expected. They flavor dishes nicely. I had not realized how much 1 lb. would amount to so I will have plenty for a long time.

These smell so good and very useful in recipes. Mix with beef before making a patty or a meat recipe, and much more
