Benefits Of Asafoetida (hing)
General Information About Asafoetida (Hing)
Latin Name: Ferula assafoetida.
In India, it is called Pure Hing or Heeng.
Asafoetida, native to Afghanistan and Iran, is also referred to
as the food of the Gods, giant fennel, stinking gum, devil’s
gum, asant, and yang. It is a spice made from the dried latex
from the roots of various plants of the Ferula genus. The
perennial plants need to be at least four-years-old before
they are ready to produce latex.
Raw asafoetida has a strong, unpleasant odor and is bitter in
taste. However, when used as a spice, it adds a smooth
avor to cooked foods. It is used in almost all Indian cooking
and is also used in pickling. You can prevent pickles from
going bad by exposing the inside of the jar or container to
asafoetida smoke before lling it with your pickled foods. It
is available as a solid, waxy, ball, a powder, and more
recently, in tinctures as a liquid extract.
