Native to the arid regions of Iran and Afghanistan, asafoetida—known in India as hing—is prized for its bold, onion-garlic aroma that mellows into rich umami when cooked. A cornerstone of Indian vegetarian cuisine, it brings depth and savoriness to lentils, curries, and vegetable dishes. Revered in Ayurveda for its digestive benefits, this golden spice transforms simple ingredients into fragrant, flavorful meals.

Description How to Use Ingredients Shipping and Returns
Also known as Hing powder, it is often used as a substitute for garlic and onion. Asafoetida powder is made from white and milky resin from a species of giant Fennel. It has a unique smell and acidic flavor that disappear while cooking to leave a smooth and pleasant flavour similar to onion and garlic.

Intensely aromatic, mellowing into onion-garlic notes when cooked. Essential for dals, lentil stews, vegetable sautés, and pickles, bringing depth and umami to vegetarian dishes.

Not just the cummin I have been using you guys for a couple of years always great spices, I don’t normally to reviews for any companies. But in a time where things are expensive and companies are profiting as much as they can, you shocked me as when I got my delivery there was a reusable shopping bag, a box of papadums and all the spices where in special cotton bags.
I know this is marketing stuff but this costs your company money and I just want to say keep up the good work and a huge thank you it’s the little things that can help and make a difference. I will use the shopping bag and the papadums thank you 🙏🏼
