Product Description:

Asafoetida (Hing) is an Indian spice with a unique and pungent flavour. A pinch of ground Asafoetida Hing goes a long way and it should be used sparingly. It is the dried gum oleoresin exuded from the rhizome of the plant.

Asafoetida Hing and Mustard Seeds sautéed in ghee are often poured over cooked lentils for aroma and flavour and along with other spices, can be used to season vegetables or to make fruit chutneys.

While on its own, the smell may strike you as overpowering and somewhat unpleasant, in cooking it mellows out and produces a flavor similar to onion and garlic.

Balancing the vata and kapha. In India according to the Ayurveda, asafoetida is considered to be one of the best spices for balancing the vata dosha. It mitigates vata and kapha, relieves flatulence and colic pain. It is pungent in taste and at the end of digestion. It aggravates pitta, enhances appetite, taste and digestion.
