Morton Bassett Granulated Onion with Parsley
What it is
This is a blend of granulated onion and dried parsley. Granulated onion is dried onion that has been ground into small particles. It offers a concentrated onion flavor that disperses easily in dishes. The addition of parsley adds a mild, herbaceous note and a touch of green color. This combination provides a convenient way to add both onion and herb flavors without needing fresh ingredients.
How people cook with it
This seasoning blend is useful for adding flavor to a wide variety of dishes. It works well in both cooked and uncooked applications.
- Seasoning meats before grilling
- Adding to salad dressings
- Flavoring dips and spreads
- Sprinkling on roasted vegetables
You can use this granulated onion and parsley blend as a direct substitute for fresh onion and parsley in many recipes. Sprinkle it directly onto foods before cooking or serving. It can be mixed into marinades, rubs, or batters. For a more intense flavor, you can rehydrate it by soaking it in a small amount of water or broth for a few minutes before adding it to your dish. It dissolves well in sauces and gravies, distributing its flavor evenly.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to onion powder, granulated onion has a slightly coarser texture and a less intense, more rounded onion flavor. The inclusion of parsley provides a complementary herbaceousness that onion powder alone does not offer. This blend is more convenient than chopping fresh onion and parsley separately.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike can use this blend to enhance their culinary creations.
How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and preserve the aromatic qualities of the onion and parsley.
