Onion is a term used for many plants in the genus Allium. They are known by the common name "onion" but, used without qualifiers, it usually refers to Allium cepa. Allium cepa is also known as the "garden onion" or "bulb" onion. Above ground, the onion shows only a single vertical shoot; the bulb grows underground, and is used for energy storage, leading to the possibility of confusion with a tuber, which it is not.
Onions are found in a large number of recipes and preparations spanning almost the totality of the world's cultures. The whole plant is edible and is used as food in some form or the other. They are now available in fresh, frozen, canned, caramelized, pickled, powdered, chopped, and dehydrated forms. Onions can be used, usually chopped or sliced, in almost every type of food, including cooked foods and fresh salads and as a spicy garnish. They are rarely eaten on their own, but usually act as accompaniment to the main course. Depending on the variety, an onion can be sharp, spicy, tangy and pungent or mild and sweet.
1 Cup = 8 Oz.
depends on the size
A tablespoon of onion powder equals about a medium sized onion, which would be about a cup, chopped. So, a tablespoon.
I just weighed one cup of chopped onion: 4 ounces.
For a medium onion, figure about a half cup.
Small onion = 4 ounces by weight or about ½ cup chopped Medium onion = 8 ounces, or about 1 cup chopped Large onion = 12 ounces, or about 1½ cups chopped Jumbo onion = 16 ounces, or about 2 cups chopped
Equivalents: 5 medium onions = 1 pound = 2 cups chopped = 3 cups sliced1 small onion = 1/3 cup = 1 teaspoon onion powder = 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
1 small equals 1/4 cup chopped 1 medium equals 1/2 cup chopped 1 large equals 1 cup chopped Hope this helps! Found this answer at http://home.answerbox.net/garden-search-onion%0A%0A1-396545368.htm
Have you ever noticed how onions can be many sizes ? 1 chopped onion could be 0.5 cup to about 1.5 cup
About 8.5 ounces (240 grams)
put it on the scale and you will have the anwer.
1 Tbls Onion Powder = 1 medium onion, chopped = 4 Tbls fresh chopped onion 1 Tbls Granulated Onion = 1 medium onion, chopped = 4 Tbls fresh chopped onion
About 120 grams of dried onion.
I do not detect any flavor differences in the two.
