Granulated Onion, excellent in rubs CARIBBEAN GARDEN SEEDS

The onion (Allium cepa) is also known as the common onion or bulb onion and is used as a vegetable. Onion is the most widely cultivated species of the genus Allium, another member of the Allium genus is garlic. Dehydrated Onion is a spice widely used. Granulated Onion is made from ground, dehydrated onions, typically the pungent bulb onion variety and possesses a strong odor. Because they’re dehydrated they have a long shelf life. 

We like to use them when we don’t have fresh onions around and we can adjust the flavor a bit by adding differing amounts of the dried onion. But sometimes these can also be used to give your dish a bit more assertive flavor. 

Granulated Onions are perfect when you are looking for desirable onion flavor, but you don’t need the texture. Also ideal to use when time is of the essence, as the flavor is so good nobody but you will know the difference. Onion granules are easier to measure than Onion Flakes, and they don’t cake like Onion Powder. Because of this, we like to use them in rubs and seasoning blends.

Use granulated onions instead of onion powder if your recipe calls for more bulk and thickness. Granulated onions are often used in spice blends, packaged meats, canned and frozen foods. While granulated onions can be added directly to most foods, it is best to rehydrate them before adding to dishes that don’t have sufficient amounts of liquid in them, or if you’re adding later in the cooking process.
