Asafoetida (Hing) – Pungent Aromatic Spice for Onion-Garlic Flavor

Asafoetida, also known as Hing, is a powerful and aromatic spice widely used in Indian cuisine. Though its raw scent is intensely pungent, earning it nicknames like “devil’s dung” when cooked, it transforms beautifully into a mellow, savory flavor reminiscent of onion and garlic.

This spice is especially useful in vegetarian and Ayurvedic cooking, where it adds umami depth without the use of onion or garlic. It's often used in dals, lentil stews, curries, and spice blends for digestive support and flavor enhancement.

Flavor Profile:
Sharp and sulfurous when raw; savory, umami-rich, and garlicky when cooked

Suggested Uses:

• Add a pinch to hot oil before sautéing spices in Indian dishes

• Use in dals, curries, lentils, or vegetable stir-fries

• Ideal for onion- and garlic-free diets or Ayurvedic cooking

Ingredients: 40% Asafoetida resin, 60% Fenugreek seed powder

Storage Instructions:
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Keep tightly sealed to avoid scent transfer to other ingredients.
