Your feedback
Good for you

The very low purine content and prebiotic fructans support healthy uric acid excretion and metabolic health. Quercetin in shallots may also inhibit xanthine oxidase, reducing uric acid production.

Bad for you

Shallots contain minimal free fructose, but this is negligible for gout in normal portions. Overeating any food may still disrupt overall dietary balance.
