Asafoetida, also known as hing, is a pungent spice derived from the resin of the Ferula plant, commonly found in the Middle East and India. Known for its strong, sulfurous aroma, asafoetida mellows into a flavor reminiscent of leeks or garlic when cooked, making it a staple ingredient in Indian cuisine. This spice is particularly valued for imparting a deep, umami-rich taste to dishes, especially in vegetarian cooking. Often used in small quantities, asafoetida is typically added to hot oil or ghee at the beginning of cooking to release its full aromatic potential. It is essential in enhancing the flavors of lentils, beans, curries, and vegetable dishes, offering a distinctive depth that elevates the overall taste profile.
May contain: nuts, sesame seeds, peanuts, gluten, soya, mustard and celery.
