Ferula asafoetida

Origin: India

Ingredients: Asafoetida, fenugreek, turmeric, rice flour, guar gum

Our Non-GMO Asafoetida Powder (also known as “hing”) is a bold and aromatic spice traditionally used in Indian and Ayurvedic cooking. Known for its potent aroma and savoury, umami-rich flavour, asafoetida is often used as a flavour enhancer and digestive aid. Just a pinch goes a long way in elevating the depth of your dishes—especially for those following vegetarian or plant-based diets.

Benefits:

✔️ Digestive Support – Traditionally used to help reduce gas, bloating, and support gut health.

✔️ Natural Antimicrobial – Contains compounds known to support the immune system and help keep the gut balanced.

✔️ Flavor Enhancer – Adds a deep, savoury flavour similar to leeks or garlic—ideal for low-FODMAP diets.

✔️ Warming & Circulatory – Used in Ayurveda to stimulate warmth and promote healthy circulation.

✔️ Perfect for Plant-Based Cooking – Boosts flavour in lentils, beans, and vegetable dishes.

How to Use:

Cooking: Add a pinch (about 1/8 tsp or less) to hot oil or ghee at the start of cooking to mellow its pungency and infuse dishes with rich flavour.

Spice Blends: Use in traditional Indian spice mixes like sambar powder or rasam masala.

Ayurvedic Recipes: Combine with turmeric and cumin for a digestive herbal blend.

Flavor Booster: Great in soups, curries, stir-fries, and lentil dishes.

Note: Asafoetida is very strong—use sparingly!
