Onion salt tastes like "salty onion". Onion powder just tastes like "onion". I use both onion and garlic powder a lot, but have never used either onion salt or garlic salt, so I can use salt independently (control the amount).
1 teaspoon onion powder = 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes (minced onions) according to http://www.foodsubs.com/Onionsdry.html. So, 4 tablespoons of minced onion would be 4 teaspoons of onion powder
1 tablespoon dried minced onion = 3 tablespoon fresh minced onion
1/8 teaspoon onion powder equals 1 tablespoon minced onion also read as this: 1/8 teaspoon onion powder equals 1/16 cup of minced onion
To substitute onion powder for minced onion, you typically use about 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder for every 1 teaspoon of minced onion. This is because onion powder is more concentrated in flavor. Adjust based on personal taste, as some may prefer a stronger onion flavor.
To substitute onion powder for dry minced onion, you typically use about one-third the amount. Therefore, for 2 tablespoons of dry minced onion, you would need approximately 2 teaspoons of onion powder. Adjust to taste, as the flavor intensity can vary between brands.
1 tablespoon dried minced onion = 3 tablespoon fresh minced onion
1/8 teaspoon onion powder equals 1 tablespoon minced onion also read as this: 1/8 teaspoon onion powder equals 1/16 cup of minced onion
One teaspoon of dry garlic powder is roughly equivalent to three teaspoons of minced garlic. This is because dried garlic is more concentrated in flavor than fresh minced garlic. So, if you need to substitute minced garlic for dry garlic powder, use about three times the amount of minced garlic.
1 medium onion = 1-1/2 to 2 tablespoons of dry minced onion flakes
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
Usually a dried spice or herb is 3 times as potent as the fresh. so 2/3 tsp should work.
To substitute garlic powder for minced garlic, the general conversion is 1 teaspoon of garlic powder for every tablespoon of minced garlic. Therefore, for 2 tablespoons of minced garlic, you would need 2 teaspoons of garlic powder. This provides a similar flavor without the moisture content of fresh garlic.
