Granulated Onion is a type of dried onion product that adds a robust layer of flavor to a variety of dishes. It is made by grinding dehydrated onions into coarse flakes. It has a similar appearance to garlic powder but has larger particles. It offers a potent, concentrated onion flavor that tends to be sweeter and less biting than fresh onions.

It is a versatile pantry staple that can be easily incorporated into spice rubs, marinades, sauces, soups, and stews. A teaspoon of granulated onion is approximately equivalent to a small onion. It is an excellent alternative when fresh onions are not available, or for people who cannot consume raw onions due to digestive issues.

This ingredient saves preparation time by eliminating the need to peel, chop or mince onions. Plus, it imparts a consistent flavor every time that enhances the taste of both cooked and raw recipes. As it is dehydrated, granulated onion has a longer shelf-life than fresh onions, making it an essential ingredient for those who enjoy home cooking.

Granulated onion can typically be found in the spices and seasonings aisle of a grocery store.
