If I not have time then I mix powder of onion
I don't give it a chance to spoil. I use it up as quickly as possible. Also, it would depend on how long it has been sitting in the store.
The conversion for onion powder to onion is:
1/2 Tbsp.
for a small onion
1 Tbsp. for a medium onion
1 1/2 Tbsp. for a large onion
So, for half an onion, you could safely use anywhere from 1/4 tbsp (which is equal to 3/4 teaspoons)to substitute a small onion to 3/4 tbsp for a large one. If you want to be safely in the middle, use 1/2 tablespoon.
A tablespoon of onion powder equals about a medium sized onion, which would be about a cup, chopped. So, a tablespoon.
Beans are full of fiber.
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
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).
yes you can... but you wont get the same favor as you would if you used the salt. I hope that helped
Personally I prefer onion powder to onion salt. You can control the amount of salt you add to the dish, and onion powder is more cost efficient because you get more flavor for about the same price.
1 to 2 tablespoons. or 3-6 teaspoons.
onion dehydrates quite a bit. 2 tablespoons dehydrated onion = about 1 medium sized onion. Onion powder takes about half that space so 1 tablespoon powder = about 1 medium onion. 2 medium onions (more or less) makes 1 cup of diced onion, so 2 tablespoons of powder should equal about the same in a recipe, however the flavor of onion powder, depending on how fresh it is can be stronger than that of fresh onion in a cooked recipe, mainly because it is more evenly dispersed, so you might want to use less.
**Rehydrating dehydrated minced onion will not yield the original volume of the onion but only about 1/4 of it.
Onion salt contains salt also whereas onion powder only contains powdered onion.
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
Leeks have a flavor that is similar to onions, and it is possible to get leek soup mix (although it is not nearly a widely distributed as onion soup mix) which can be quite delicious. Beyond that, there are lots of soup mixes, experiment and find one you like.
