Are shallots gluten free?
Yes, shallots are naturally gluten-free. They’re a type of vegetable, and fresh vegetables are generally free of gluten. However, pre-packaged or processed shallots may contain gluten due to cross-contamination or added ingredients, so if you have a gluten intolerance, it’s safest to consume fresh shallots.
