I shared the nutrition information for onions with you the other day. Today, I am highlighting the nutrition information for shallots, another bulb vegetable.
I am including some of the available information on USDA and Wikipedia. Also, I did some rounding. I am including the items normally listed on the Nutrition Facts Label on food products.
Nutritional Value per 100 g (3.5 oz) of Raw Shallot
Calories:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 72
Fat:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.1 g
Sodium:        12.0 mg  less than 1%
Carbohydrates:Â Â 16.8 g
Sugars:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 7.9 g
Dietary Fiber:Â Â Â Â 3.2 g
Protein:Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 2.5 g
Vitamin C:       8.0 mg   10%  – normally the nutrition facts label includes vitamin D but is insignificant for shallots
Calcium:       37.0 mg    4%
Iron:           1.2 mg    9%
Potassium:    334.0 mg    7%
Water         79.8 g
The percentages above tell you how much a nutrient in a serving of food contributes to a daily diet of 2,000 calories.
