Shallot leaves and bulbs contain sugar, vitamins and essential oil. The composition of shallots differs little from onions. And yet, there are differences: the leaves contain 9.5% dry matter, sugars - 3-4%, vitamin C - 64.5 mg%; onion - respectively 16.5%, 1.5% and 7 mg%. Compared to onions, shallots contain more sugar, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and minerals.
