Indonesian Shallots, or 'Bawang Merah', are the aromatic heart of countless Indonesian dishes. Sweeter and more delicate than regular onions, they provide a complex, savory depth to spice pastes (bumbu), sauces, and soups. They are also famously fried to a golden crisp to be used as an essential condiment. Our shallots are properly cured to ensure a firm texture, vibrant color, and extended shelf life, ready for export.
