Purple Shallot Powder - Single Origin Spice & Seasoning

A savory-sweet allium, reimagined for everyday ritual.

Grown in the fertile Red River Delta of Vietnam, these purple shallots are beloved for their natural allium sweetness and deep, rounded umami. After harvest, the pods are slow-cured, hand-sliced paper thin, sun-dried, and ground to a velvet-fine powder, preserving their aroma and character at peak vibrancy.

Luminous, savory, and softly sweet, this powder brings effortless depth to rice, noodles, sauces, braises, and slow-simmered stews. It’s the rare spice that feels both essential and subtle, transforming dishes without overpowering them.

A pantry staple for Vietnamese and Southeast Asian cooking—and equally inspiring in French and Italian kitchens, where shallots are cherished as gold-standard aromatics.

How to Use

• 1 tsp = 1 fresh shallot

• Substitute 1 tsp powder for 1 whole shallot, or use anywhere you’d reach for onion powder for a sweeter, more aromatic lift

• Start with 1 teaspoon in place of onion powder when cooking rice or blending into sauces

• Add directly to dishes that traditionally feature fresh shallots for full allium presence without the prep

Ritual-Ready Cooking Tips

• Bloom in butter or oil at the start of cooking for deeper aroma release
  Ideal for rice, noodles, braises, sauces, stir-fries, and stews

• Sprinkle as a finish over roasted or fresh vegetables
  Especially lovely over breakfast potatoes, steamed greens, or crisp-edged produce

• Use as a topping or seasoning accent for vegetables, noodles, or broths

• Fold into fat early to soften, sweeten, and awaken umami
