Freeze Dried Shallots By Unpretentious Baker, 7.65 oz, Flavorful, Food Storage, Bulk Container

exactly as described, though it looks like a few of the bits were toasted, maybe by the lid sealer? The first one I received was crushed a bit in transit and may have popped open a bit. They might need to check the tolerances on the sealer?

Fresh shallots can be rather pricey up here in Alaska, and 'though I don't use that much in my daily cookery I do like to incorporate all of the ingredients in a given recipe. I'm never able to buy enough fresh shallots at our farmer's markets, whether to try to dehydrate or to preserve as pickled. At opening, I thought first of a good, flavorful onion soup. I'm going to taste test with both water and white wine in reconstituting but I also expect to add depth to my soups. Thus this jar has taken its rightful place next to all of the dehydrated vegetables that I've ordered through Amazon. This is my introduction to this brand, one whose other products I expect to explore in future orders.

Surprisingly high quality. If you take the time to reconstitute (re-hydrate) before you use them you can hardly tell the difference from "fresh" shallots.

So convenient and pungent. No flavor missing here. Definitely would buy again

excellent for every dish...highly recommended
