Purple Shallot Powder

Our savory, sweet Purple Shallot Powder adds umami depth and allium sweetness to myriad dishes, from rice and noodles to stews and braises. The powder is a convenient substitute for fresh shallots — substitute 1 tsp powder for a fresh shallot, or use in place of onion powder in rice or any dish that you'd use fresh shallots in. These shallots are grown in Vietnam's Red River Delta, an area famous across the country for this beloved ingredient. After harvest, they are carefully cured, thinly sliced and laid out to dry, then ground to a fine powder. Shallot powder is a wonderfully versatile ingredient to keep on hand for cooking up traditional Vietnamese and other Southeast Asian dishes, and French, Italian and the many other cuisines in which shallots are highly prized.

Cooking Tips:

• Use in place of fresh shallots in any dish, 1 tsp = 1 fresh shallot
• Bloom in butter or oil at the start of cooking rice, noodles, sauces, braises, stir-fries and stews
• Sprinkle as a topping for vegetable, rice or meat dishes
