Description
Asafoetida is native to Afghanistan and Iraq, but it is mostly used in Indian cuisine. When Asafoetida is dried and ground into a spice, the ground form is referred to as hing. Strong hing (asafetida) is basically a latex gum extracted from various species of a perennial herb called Ferula. It has a pungent smell and distinct flavour similar to Onion and Garlic.
Strong hing (asafetida) powder has secured a prominent place in traditional medicine due to its carminative, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, sedative, and diuretic properties. Because of the therapeutic and curative powers of the strong hing (asafetida), it is referred to as the food of the gods.
