Onion Salt or Granulated Onion
The Wolf
For years I have bought onion salt and garlic salt there in bulk.
Today I noticed they changed both names to granulated onion and granulated
garlic.
What did they do? Just take the salt out. It looks the same to me.

They got honest. They had been charging you for onion or garlic and
giving you salt as a filler. It's probably much stronger now, so go
easy. If you need salt, add some.

Granulated and salt have been available all of my life. As well as minced,
chopped versions. You just have to get out more.

I've always used real onions for that taste but I do keep some garlic powder
on hand for a quick and easy garlic taste. In "serious" recipes, I'll use
real garlic.
As for granulated vs powdered, I prefer the powdered.

As I was writing this, I was trying to remember what "granulated" product I
tried once and didn't like. It was granulated brown sugar. They were out of
the regular at the time. I did NOT like the granulated form at all.

Steve....always the difficult one. hehehh
It wasn't powdered but...regular brown sugar is compact and somewhat moist.
That granulated brown sugar I bought once...the granules were larger and
very dry and you could pour the sugar out of the package. it wasn't good.
If you argue this with me, you lucklily have never tried granulated brown
sugar. I don't recommend trying it either.

Ordinary brown sugar is a bit moist from the added molasses. I think
Gary was thinking of the pourable "brownulated" sugar.

Domino knows that. That may be why they call it brownulated. I sometimes
use the stuff. It has its place.

Don't forget celery salt. I've never seen granulated celery, and I don't
think that's what's in the celery salt. I occasionally use celery seed
as a spice, and sometimes I mill it fine.
