Onion powder

Onion powder is made from dehydrated then finely ground onions.  The powder can be sprinkled on meats before cooking or incorporated into  sauces, soups, or dips. Use onion powder in casseroles and meatloaf or other dishes where you want to add onion flavor and fresh is not available.

The only difference between onion powder and granulated onion is that onion powder has been ground finer.
