Regal Organic Onion Powder 7 oz.

The difference lies in the grinding process. Granulated onion is ground into granules with coarse texture, like fine cornmeal. Minced onion is coarser in texture; minced onion pieces have a larger cut than granulated onion, but a smaller cut than fresh, chopped onions. Onion powder is ground into a fine, flour-like substance. This makes onion powder ideal for dispersing in liquids. It dissolves almost instantly when incorporated into any dish; granulated onion takes a few minutes to dissolve and release its flavor. While powder is cheaper, it can be a bit more difficult to work with (it adheres to damp surfaces and has a tendency to stick to the pan).

Use the following substitutions for granulated, minced, powdered, and fresh onion. Please note: All measurements are approximate.

- If substituting onion powder for granulated onion: 1 tsp. onion powder is stronger than 1 tsp. granulated onion; start with just a pinch of onion powder and adjust accordingly
