FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long do freeze-dried shallots last?
When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, they can last 12-18 months. Once opened, they should be used within 6 months for best flavor.
Can I freeze freeze-dried shallots?
It is not recommended. Freezing can introduce moisture when the container is opened, which will cause the shallots to become soft and lose their shelf life.
What is the best substitute for freeze-dried shallots?
Fresh shallots (use 1 tbsp fresh for every 1 tsp freeze-dried) or dried minced onions are the best alternatives.
Do I need to rehydrate them before cooking?
Not necessarily. If you are adding them to a moist dish like a sauce or soup, they will rehydrate during cooking. For dry dishes, soak them in a teaspoon of water for 2 minutes first.
Are freeze-dried shallots as healthy as fresh ones?
Yes, freeze-drying preserves most of the nutrients and antioxidants found in fresh shallots, though they are much more calorically dense by weight due to water removal.
How do I know if they have gone bad?
If they lose their vibrant color, develop a musty smell, or become soft/clumpy (indicating moisture ingress), they should be discarded.
Are they suitable for a low-FODMAP diet?
No, shallots (including freeze-dried) are high in fructans and are generally avoided on a strict low-FODMAP diet.
Can I use them in salads?
Yes, they work great as a crunchy topping or can be whisked into a vinaigrette where they will soften and release their flavor.
