Asafetida

$13.95

Commonly called Hing in Indian cuisine, asafetida is a pungent, savory spice that mimics the flavor of onions, garlic, and leeks. It’s ideal for adding rich, allium-like depth without using fresh garlic or onion. Use sparingly as a small pinch goes a long way to enhance and round out the overall flavor of dishes. Perfect for curries, seafood, and roasted vegetables.

Description

Asafoetida is a spice made from the dried resin of a giant fennel plant, traditionally grown in India, Iran, and Afghanistan. Known as hing in Hindi, it has a strong, pungent aroma when raw—earning colorful nicknames like “Devil’s Dung” and “Stinking Gum.” When cooked, however, the flavor transforms into a savory, onion- and garlic-like depth that is widely used in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisine.
