Granulated Onion

Granulated onion is a versatile seasoning made from dehydrated onions that have been finely ground into coarse, sand-like granules. It delivers a robust, savory onion flavor without the moisture or texture of fresh onions, making it an excellent pantry staple for both home cooks and chefs. Granulated onion dissolves easily in liquids, making it ideal for soups, stews, sauces, and marinades, while also blending seamlessly into dry rubs, spice mixes, and baked goods. Its convenient, shelf-stable form allows you to add a consistent onion flavor to your dishes without the hassle of chopping or peeling. Use granulated onion as a direct substitute for fresh onion when you want to enhance flavor without altering the texture or adding extra moisture to your recipe.

Granulated onion is a popular seasoning that can typically be found in the spice aisle of most grocery stores. Look for it among other dried herbs and spices, often shelved near garlic powder, onion powder, and seasoning blends. It comes in small jars or plastic containers, usually labeled as "granulated onion" or sometimes "onion granules." If you are shopping at a larger supermarket, you may also find granulated onion in the bulk spice section, where you can buy it by weight. For online shoppers, most major retailers and specialty spice shops carry granulated onion as well. This versatile ingredient is perfect for adding a mild, sweet onion flavor to recipes without the texture or moisture of fresh onions, making it a pantry staple for soups, stews, rubs, and more.
