Organic Asafoetida Powder 100gm

Organic Asafoetida (Hing) Powder – 100g

Organic Asafoetida, commonly known as Hing, is a prized spice in traditional Indian and Ayurvedic cooking. Made from the dried resin of the Ferula plant, it is renowned for its distinctive aroma that transforms into a rich, savoury flavour when cooked. Just a small pinch enhances the taste of dals, curries, legumes, soups and vegetable dishes, making it an excellent alternative to onion and garlic. In Ayurveda, Hing has also been traditionally valued for supporting comfortable digestion and balancing Vata. 

Features & Benefits

Authentic Ayurvedic Kitchen Essential
A traditional spice widely used in Indian cuisine to create rich, savoury flavours while complementing vegetarian cooking.

Natural Onion & Garlic Alternative
Popular in recipes where onion and garlic are avoided, adding a deep umami flavour with only a small pinch.

Traditionally Valued for Digestion
Hing has been used in Ayurveda for centuries as part of a balanced diet to support digestive comfort and reduce bloating after meals. 

Versatile Culinary Ingredient
Perfect for tempering (tadka), lentils, beans, curries, soups, pickles, chutneys and vegetable dishes, where its flavour becomes smooth and aromatic during cooking. 

How to Use

Use only a small pinch, as Asafoetida is highly concentrated. For best flavour, briefly cook it in hot oil or ghee for a few seconds before adding other spices or ingredients. Ideal for dals, curries, legumes, soups, stir-fries and vegetable dishes. Store in a tightly sealed container after opening to preserve freshness and minimise its strong aroma.
