Description

Asafoetida, aka Hing, is an essential Indian cooking spice. Asafoetida provides a savory umami flavor that mimics the taste of onions and garlic, making it a suitable substitute for those avoiding alliums. It has a distinctive, pungent flavor that can be used to add an aromatic and savory note to dishes.

Asafoetida is typically added to hot oil or ghee to release its flavor. A pinch or dash is all you need to flavor lentil dishes, vegetable curries, pickles and other savory dishes. Additionally, it s believed to aid digestion and is sometimes used in herbal medicine for its purported health benefits.

While Asafoetida is known for its pungent aroma in its raw state, give it a chance! Once cooked, Asafoetida transforms into a rich, savory, umami flavor explosion. It s like the most wonderful combination of onion and garlic. Asafoetida is a staple in Indian cooking, and a little goes a long way.
