The adverb is a straightforward derivation from the adjective 'granular' meaning 'made of small grains', so the meaning is directly predictable.

Etymology

Granularly comes from the Latin granum 'grain' and the English word granule for a small grain, so think of sugar or sand made of many tiny bits. That's why something described granularly can be made of, or show, many small separate particles.
