Description: Though onions are technically a vegetable, more specifically a bulb in the lily family, they are typically classified as a spice, whether fresh or dried, because of their use primarily as a seasoning. An indispensable ingredient in almost every one of the world’s cuisines where it is used fresh or dry to add volume, texture, and obviously flavor to dishes of all sorts. Granulated Onion is simply coarse ground dehydrated onion, its flavor is very similar to fresh onion but more potent by volume. Granulated Onion is less sharp with a more immediate sweetness than fresh onion and is brighter and fresher in flavor compared to Onion Powder. Granulated Onion is best used in dishes with high liquid content and longer cooking times, as it needs more time to hydrate, release its flavor, and infuse into the dish making it a perfect way to add a savory ‘back note’ and distinct onion flavor to dishes.
