Fresh Vietnamese Shallots Spicy Aromatic Onions

Shallots, also known as chives, are a type of onion commonly grown in Vietnam. Small in size, they are prized for their distinctive aroma and spicier flavor compared to regular onions. Widely used in rustic dishes such as shallot porridge, shrimp rolls, and braised fish, they enhance the taste and remove fishy odors. Beyond culinary uses, shallots are valued in folk medicine for treating colds, coughs, bloating, and for their antiseptic properties. Known for their versatility, they are a staple ingredient in both cooking and traditional remedies.
