About this herb
Asafoetiida, Raw Spice. Smell and taste: spicy, garlic-like, pungent.
Asafoetida (Ferula asafoetida), also known as Indian Hing, is a highly prized oleo gum resin obtained from the rhizome and root of the Umbelliferae family plant. Traditionally used as a digestive aid and flavorful spice, our Asafoetida is ethically harvested from mature plants 4–5 years old to ensure its purest and most potent form. Unlike commercial varieties, this is raw, unmixed powdered gum resin, offering an authentic and rare quality not commonly found on the market.
