User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The conversion for onion powder to onion is:

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.

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).

Can onion salt be substituted for onion powder?

Asked by Wiki User

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.

How many teaspoons of onion powder in one ounce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.
