Shallots - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Shallots

• Metabolic Effect: The high potassium content of 334 mg effectively flushes out excess fluids while 3.2 grams of fiber helps stabilize your blood sugar levels throughout the day. With 2.5 grams of protein per 100g, it supports cellular repair and provides a clean metabolic boost for your body.
• Consumption Tip: I recommend my clients consume shallots raw to fully preserve the 8 mg of heat-sensitive Vitamin C for better immunity. Adding a 100g portion to your dressings enhances flavor with only 0.1 grams of fat, making it an ideal choice for calorie-conscious flavoring.
• What to Watch For: While the 16.8 grams of carbs is moderate, those on strict low-carb protocols should monitor their intake to stay within their daily limits. If you have a sensitive digestive tract, the sulfur compounds might cause bloating, so I suggest starting with small amounts to test your tolerance.
• Exercise Equivalent: Burning off the 72 calories from a 100g serving takes just a quick 12-minute brisk walk around the neighborhood. You can also opt for 8 minutes of moderate swimming to fully utilize the energy provided by this nutrient-dense bulb.
