Shallots can help reduce cholesterol.
Allicin is a compound found in shallots when being sliced. The compound inhibits a reductase enzyme that is produced in the liver to make cholesterol. A lowered cholesterol level can help prevent atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes.
Shallots can help manage your blood pressure.
An increased potassium intake and decreased sodium intake has been linked to a lowered blood pressure. When the method is used in conjunction with the action of allicin, which releases nitric oxide, the blood pressure is significantly reduced. One hundred grams of shallots contains 334 mg of potassium and only 12 mg of sodium.
