What is the difference between minced and grated?

Answer 1

Minced means to chop food such as meat, vegetables or fruit into very small pieces, it is either done with a very sharp knife or more often using a machine with a mincing attachment, diced means to cut meat, vegetables or fruit into small cubes, these cubes can range in size from fine dice (but bigger than minced) to larger dice but no bigger than a mouthful.

Answer 2

Minced is a food preparation technique in which something is chopped uniformly into very small cubes, smaller than diced.

Grating is the process in which a grater is used to produce thin strips or shreds. Grating is commonly used for cheeses.

Answer 3

When you dice something, you make it look like little cubes. When you finely chop something you chop it into VERY small pieces.

Answer 4

Minced is chopped into very fine, tiny bits, while diced is chopped into larger, uniform-sized cubes.
