A Unique South Indian Spice

Asafoetida gum (also known as asafetida or hing) is an intensely pungent spice that’s long been used in South Indian cooking, adding hot oil or ghee to really maximize it's flavor. Asafoetida is commonly used in vegetable and bean dishes, adding a unique, complex flavor that is described as onion and garlic. This spice can also help with digestion, making it popular for people who otherwise feel gassy, bloated, or overfull after eating. By incorporating asafoetida into dishes during the cooking process, you can offset some of those digestive issues while also creating an amazingly flavorful meal.

Cooking with Asafoetida Gum

Because of its intense flavor, a little goes a long way when you’re adding wild-harvested asafoetida gum to a dish. And since our asafoetida powder is not cut with rice or wheat flour like many other products featuring this herb, you get an even purer, more pungent flavor. Add a small amount during the cooking process and taste test to see if you’d like to add more. Once you get accustomed to cooking with asafoetida gum powder, you’ll want to add it to all kinds of appetizers, entrees, and sides. Note: Due to Asafoetida’s strong smell, it is best kept in an airtight container.
