Spicy World Asafoetida (Hing) Ground 3.75oz (106g)

Spicy World Asafetida is a potent, flavorful spice that is commonly used in Indian cooking. It has several alternative names such as devil's dung, asant, food of the gods, jowani badian, stinking gum, hengu, ingu, kayam, and ting.

This spice is also used frequently to replace Onions and Garlic in Jain, Hindu, and Buddhist diets. Many customers on Low FODMAP friendly diets use it as well.

Our Asafoetida has a similar pungent smell and taste to onions and garlic. The strong smell is normal - in fact, it represents how fresh it is! Don't worry though - once added to some oil that odor does transform into the wonderful aroma of fried onions with a hint of garlic. It does not take much, and the aroma is especially compelling when fried in olive oil. Does not clump when added to oil.

This Hing was specially blended to be strong and full of bold flavor - you need only a little to go a long way. This jar should last quite a while as our hing is far stronger than local Indian brands.

Try our own, personal homemade recipe from one of the owners of Spicy World! Super easy and takes just a few minutes!

This is a great alternative to Garlic Bread for those who avoid onion and garlic in their diets.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

2 Slices Bread (Ideally a French bread, or a Boule bread)

1 Tsp Butter (Melted or Spreadable works best)

Dash of Spicy World Asafoetida (1/8 tsp or sprinkle on top as per desire)

1/8 Tsp Italian Herbs Seasoning

Mix Italian Herbs, Asafoetida, and Butter in a small bowl and spread on bread as per your desired strength. Toast to Medium High and let the butter cook with the herbs. Ideally, this can be done in a toaster oven to prevent the butter from spilling off. Enjoy with avocados, salads, or alone!
