Difference between granulated onion and minced onion?

Question

Recipe calls for 1 1/2 tbps of granulated onion, I accidentally bought minced onion.......should I go back to store and get the granulated onion powder?  Or is there any difference?  

This is for my seasoning rub on my prime rib.  

Thanks!!!

Answer 1

yes there is a difference. Granulated is finer than minced. Minced onion looks like flakes and granulated is finely ground. Go back to the store and get granulated --not minced or powder.
