Hate to disappoint you, but most often the answer is... no.

but you’re tired and lazy, and the last thing you want to do is run out to the store to buy an onion. But what’s that in the pantry, hiding behind the baking soda and the anchovies? It’s onion powder!essence

of onion, if you will. But just because the two have a very close relationship doesn’t mean they can be used interchangeably. Each is unique, and before you go swapping one for the other, you should consider what each brings to the table. Fresh onions are more than their taste. They have texture—a real crunch when raw, a buttery softness when caramelized. They’re also approximately 89% water, which means that when you cook with them, you’re introducing moisture into your dish.

Onion powder, on the other hand, comes from onions that have been dried and then crushed to varying degrees, from flakes to powder. No texture, no water, and a more concentrated oniony punch. And just like with fresh onions, the flavor of onion powder varies, too. It can be made from any kind of onion, be it biting white, milder red, or sweeter yellow. It can be made solely of the bulb—the onioniest part of the onion—or it can include the root, stem, or skin.
